About
The video delves into the boundaries between self and Otherness, interior and exterior, through an evocative tactile choreography that illuminates the boundaries of identity and maternal legacy. In this evocative work, the artist's arm engages in a nuanced dance with its own shadow, symbolically tracing the contours of her persona. This exploration is not only a personal quest to delineate where she begins and ends but also subtly reflects the intricate dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship.
As the artist navigates the interaction with her shadow, she subtly addresses the dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship, navigating the emotional landscape that bridges generational connections, illustrating how these intimate bonds shape and challenge our sense of self. The shadow, embodying the daughter's role, mirrors the maternal influence, suggesting that femininity in the artist's life is a continuation—a shadow of the mother's own femininity. This interplay becomes a powerful visual representation of how inherited traits and roles shape our identities, reflecting both the influence and the autonomy that arise from these profound connections. Through this choreography, the video explores how our sense of self is inextricably linked to the shadows cast by those who came before us, revealing a deeply intertwined dance of legacy and individuality.
