Teeth, 2018
Sculpture, mix media

Her performance Blinded by Shine stages her seemingly sincere attempt at creating intimacy by sharing her thoughts and concerns with the audience. In her video, Challenge: Swimming to an Island, she blows to spectacular proportions a simple action meant to be intimate. To swim from one island to another becomes a reality based TV show and her mystical reconciliation with the ungraspable essence of otherness symbolized by the island an extreme challenge. Finally, her sculpture entitled Teeth portrays human dentition as a portal between inner self and public presence. As the only visible part of the skeleton, teeth constitute a powerful reminder of the intricate relation between outward expression and inner life articulated through the body as a liminal entity.
