About The Artwork

As a woman who frequents the gym, I'm aware of how certain exercises make me feel vulnerable within a space that has (until recently) been seen as gendered (male-dominated) turf. In watching some men do hip thrusting maneuvers, seeing how their shorts would ride up to expose their boxer briefs underneath, I started to question what makes men feel vulnerable in the gym.

In my work, I see the gym as a place where everyday antics and behaviors are amplified in a stage-like environment where there is a hyperawareness of our bodies in a public space. Exploring the politics of looking through both male and female gazes, I’m interested in exemplifying the strangeness of the body, and the peculiarity of certain gym exercises and the awkward, compromising, sometimes sexual positions they put people in. My works hinge on the contradiction that I am an active participant of #gymlife, while also questioning its variables. By telling gym stories through serious yet comically empathetic visual narratives, my work is meant to bring up conversation about gender issues, body politics and trends, competition, the machinic-like work we do, and the propaganda of progress in other spheres of our lives.
