Drawing on Surrealism’s central focus of joining reality and fantasy, eroticism and death, this body of works explores the unresolvable conflict between everybody’s dream to be loved and desired confronted by anxieties, repressed sexual memories and corporeal reality. By using soft sculpture’s ability to evoke ambivalent and conflicting associations in relation to the human body, all works aim to translate personal experiences into forms that destabilise dominant cultural representational belief systems and stereotypes regarding one’s own body.
