This is a series of mixed media sculptures and a video installation that I created to explore individual and political identity through gestures and objects associated with intimate relationships. It represent, through political symbols, the traumatic impact of intimacy. The installation is like a wedding scene, as well as like a communist conference, becoming a liminal space. It reflects my own experiences with political trauma as well as the collective, inherited trauma of my parents’ generation.
