YOU ARE MINE
2022, series of text-images, objects, pigment print on cotton with aluminum backing, each 110 x 70 x 5 cm

In this series of text-images, we read about impetuous and violent women, jealous wives, ex-girlfriends who do not accept that they have been betrayed or left, and about men chased and raped, boyfriends beaten, ex-partners stabbed, and husbands killed by stabbing. I reversed real-life violent acts that fill the pages of newspapers (male becomes female, victim becomes perpetrator and vice versa), inviting reflection on the absurdity of femicide.  The works are made as text-images printed on sculptural material and simulating wrinkled newspaper clippings that I collected, filed, selected, and manipulated.
