SHE
Installation
2020
SHE is an immersive video installation that invites viewers to explore the fluidity of gender expression through the lens of personal narrative. Through the intimate portrayal of Nev's exploration, the installation challenges traditional notions of identity and conformity. Using two vintage TVs, the video captures moments of self-discovery and experimentation, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of self-perception and societal expectation. The curated items on the table serve as tangible artifacts, grounding Nev's story in the physical realm and fostering a deeper connection between audience and narrative. SHE is a testament to the power of visual storytelling in fostering empathy, understanding, and celebration of individuality.
