Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Upon a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur. Margaret Atwood
Hiding/Hidden (2022-2025)
Women have long faced societal barriers that limit their ability to express their talents. These constraints—both past and present—have often shaped a sense of invisibility and self-doubt. Hiding/Hidden visualizes this tension using cutouts from old German cinema magazines, creating layered portraits that reflect the ongoing struggle between visibility, value, and identity.
