The Disappearance of Bertha Jones (Wysing Open 2024)


In this performance, I gradually painted myself into the landscape, allowing my figure to dissolve into the forest. This was a quiet act of resistance against the pressure of being "different." It explores masking and the search for a space where the body isn't being judged or watched, but is simply part of the surroundings.
