Untitled

Untitled investigates how visibility is regulated—how identity is flattened, filtered, and fragmented under normative pressure, and how fragile gestures of presence persist.

Untitled stages identity as a contested surface. A skeletal wire structure evokes the rigid frameworks that organize recognition—cold, infrastructural, and difficult to negotiate. Draped fabric buckles and warps, compressing complexity into a flattened field, suggesting how lived experience is often edited to fit legible social categories. A metallic coating forms a reflective, uneven skin: it both attracts the gaze and repels intimacy, mirroring the ambivalence of visibility. Through punctured openings, flesh-toned silicone arm fragments emerge—partial, interrupted, and unresolved—recalling bodies and selves that are made peripheral through systems of exclusion, particularly within LGBTQ experience. The apertures function as wounds and as thresholds: sites where what is suppressed presses outward. Rather than offering a complete narrative, the work holds space for fragmentation and repair, tracing a slow negotiation between erasure and self-assertion.
