A Room of Her Own, 2022
The installation ‘A Room of her Own’ speaks of intimate moments; of domestic lives of women behind closed doors. I presented the woman as a specter, a ghost of our past who has had her words and herself disappear into history and forgotten. The projected ghostly figures and screen veils are not only a nod to the private space, but also of the semantic capacity of layers to conceal and reveal which is often in my body of work. Silence is the ocean of the unsaid, the unspeakable, the repressed, the erased, the unheard and I wanted to portray her and thus myself.
