FEMININITY, MASCULINITY & GROWTH // SARA F.

OBJECT SPACE VEIL 

An extention to The Performance, Object, Space, Veil explores the concept of identity, alter egos and the way artists represent themselves.

A performance is played, acting out the cultural, religious and societal assumptions placed on many.


COLOUR SAMPLES 

I was looking at the idea of the Exotic, colour profiles and the everyday mundane.



THE PERFORMANCE

A series of portraits exploring the concept of identity and gender expectations.
A performance is played, acting out the cultural, religious and societal assumptions placed on my self by society as an artist of colour and faith. As a female artist who stays anonymous within imagery, my husband takes my role. I create a performance of the everyday.

The layout mimics the domestic space of an artist and the certain objects are used to signify strength, growth and fragility. Using light and shadow mimicking a stage set, a metaphor for the intensity of the roles that have been placed on us. The question is how long do we act and how long can we keep on balancing the roles?

UNTITLED
