The Gilded Cage
Almost from birth, women carry a cultural background of fairy tales and stories with happy endings.
I am wondering where the fairy-tale's dreams go when we grow up and what happened to Prince Charming and his castle.
At this time of my life where I should have ticked all the boxes of society's expectations: family, kids, home, economic security, I find myself somewhere between fantasy and reality, dreams and waking states, still hovering in a limbo between childhood and adulthood.
Using the house as a symbol of shelter, the womb and maternity, my work examines the house as a feminine representation - a place of success and failure, of possibility and disillusion.
