WOMAN IN BACKGROUND (2013)

WOMAN ON BACKGROUND situates the iconic representation of the female body within an intimate domestic space. Both the house and the body are conceived as places of solitude and introspection, inhabited by a single presence, where a profoundly physical and embodied relationship is established through the sense of touch.
