‘Domestic Body’, digital photographic and video collage

This digital photography/video collage work uses feminist irony to deconstruct the role of woman as housewife. Exploring gender training. “The training I received within my family and society as an eldest girl child. The need to please, the guilt of not doing enough, the idea that satisfaction should come from a clean kitchen floor.

The patronising pink used in this work is overt and constant, it bleeds into the skin while the forced smile gleams. The body has become part of the machine, washing machine belly, iron hands - we are the tool and the work itself. Again the glitch disrupts, exposing the other emotions - fear, sadness, regret, loss, mania, anger. How is the self imagined in this domestic body?”

This video collage critiques the unresolved tensions in society surrounding gender roles, power dynamics, and the labor of caretaking. Centered on the figure of a toilet dolly—a symbol of the invisible, relentless work women perform—it highlights the persistence of issues like the gender pay gap, bodily autonomy, violence against women, and the burden of unpaid or low-paid labor. Through visual glitches, the work channels frustration and rebellion against ingrained gender training, exposing the contradictions and imbalances at the heart of our social structure without offering resolution.

Out of office, Still performing is a video work examining the pursuit of the ever-elusive ideal vacation—a two-week mirage of rest, rejuvenation, and personal transcendence after a year of corporate purgatory. In this piece, I explore the absurdity of curated self-care and the myth of leisure as a form of salvation. Through digital collage saturated with irony, the work interrogates our desire to package relaxation as productivity, and asks—what happens when paradise is just another performance?
