Women in the Middle is a deliberate rejection of stable categorization, utilizing visual lushness as a political strategy to complicate overt representations of gender. By turning to abstraction, the work affirms ambiguities and reflects the shifting physical embodiments of woman's place in this world. The series serves as a commentary on the complexities of gender and the societal pressures to conform to narrow and limiting gender roles. Through vibrant colors and intricate forms, the artist challenges viewers to confront their preconceived notions of gender and embrace the beauty and fluidity of all individuals.
