About The Artwork
The Corset series is composed of two marble sculptures and one marble bas-relief. It reflects on the notion that beauty is pain (“Il faut souffrir pour etre belle”). Thinking about the validity of this sentence, I remembered all the beauty rituals that women had to follow throughout the centuries in order to be desirable, but also wondered what pushed them to deform their body and put their health at risk continuously. I refuse to go down the line of the glorification of victimization, so I was faced with the challenge to discuss woman’s beauty (in terms imposed by society) and its downward spiral in a respectful manner. I mixed the strong marble material with delicate ribbons to create a pretty and nice image (just as good girls are expected to look like) and marble with leather to show also bring sensuality and the representation of woman sexuality into the discussion. If viewer go pass the first impression and think about the work, they can notice the marble had to be pierced through, so deformed in some way, in order to be adorned. I wanted it to be a reference to the pain and self-inflicted deformations women felt and still think they have to go through. I believe the constant disapproval with women’s body plays a part with the overall disapproval of women as entitled and equal human in our society.

I am searching the spectrum of the personal and the emotional, and how our contemporary consumerist society affects the way we live, feel and develop the notion of the selves. I am interested in how human continue to be true to their core in this environment despite the daily violence it obliges us to face and to commit to other. My works can be understood as elaborations of emotional reactions to societal issues. I often use myths as my primary support: I question and I twist them in order to extract the intrinsic meaning they are caring within themselves into the contemporary society. I try to express the myths in innovative ways in order to open up a new discussion about a topic. As a woman, my work is reflective of the distinctive challenges that I face in my private life, and I believe it shines a light and a commentary on societal issues that are inherent of our time. I decided to pursue my inquiry into identity through the specific lens of Trauma, whether it being physical, emotional or psychological. I am exploring how it affects one or more persons, and which strategies of survival can be found.
