New Moons

New Moons

 The transmutation of resistance and perseverance for a conscious, solid, social new identity 

As a woman, mother and visual activist, the function of my practice is focused especially on women presenting and documenting them in all their essence. An ideology that embraces the causes, concerns and gender issues we are subjected to and the daily stereotypes which we have to fight against in attempts to create a more inclusive society, discussing the sense of constriction, motherhood vacillation, resilience and domestic conflicts.

My studies implicate the concept, “Comportment, Motility, and Spatiality''(I.M.Young-1991)“How do girls and women constitute their experienced world through their movement and orientation in places? What are some of the feelings of ambivalence, pleasure, power, shame, objectification, and solidarity that girls and women have about bodies, their shape, flows, and capacities?”( I. Marion,1991).

Recalling the social structure theories of Judith Butler “Gender identity is not an internal essence that is expressed through behaviour, but is instead an effect of repeated behaviours that imitate gender norms” (J.Butler, 1990) and the ‘functionalism effect’ of the Feminine Mystique coined by Betty Friedan ”Feminine mystique has taught women that this is their role, and if they ever complete their tasks they will become unneeded” (B. Friedan, 1963)
