BODY OF WORK: NO TITLE, 2018
Renouncing a title refuses any linguistic direction. Without a predetermined conceptual framework, any attempt to hastily assign what is seen to familiar schemas fails. Only this void compels the viewer to actively question their own perception: The work offers no explanation, but becomes a projection surface upon which each individual creates their own image.
Within this vacuum, a field of tension emerges between refusal and interpretation. The forms persist autonomously, while meaning is constructed solely in the gaze of the observer.
“Where no name leads, the viewer begins to see.”

Work note, Vienna 2018:
How can the systemic unequal treatment of women be rendered visually tangible? Which signs materialize invisible power structures? In the radical concealment of face and body, individuality is erased – the shrouded body loses its own voice and solidifies into a universal symbol of oppression.
