Seria de lucrari Bind/Legare
este o expresie a conditiei mele umane de la un anumit
moment: o adulta care si-a luat zborul din lumea inoculata
de parinti si alti adulti, pentru a acumula un mod de
gandire si o experienta personale.
Bind prezinta o femeie care se confrunta cu originile
ei femeiesti. In aceasta serie de lucrari ma infasor
in piele de porc, care a fost inmuiata in sangele meu,
ca un simbol al propriei feminitati.
In acea perioada reflectam la viata mea, care era intr-un
proces de transformare. Copil fiind si traind viata
pe care adultii mi-au faurit-o, ulterior am inceput
sa-mi explorez viata ca o fiinta independenta. Legandu-mi
ochii, nasul, gura si urechile cu piele de porc pentru
a-mi reseta simturile, am folosit o reductie senzoriala
agresiva pentru a intra in legatura cu interiorul meu.
In acest sens seria Bind este un documentar artistic
al dezvoltarii mele obscure ca fiinta umana care devine
femeie.
Lucrarile mele de mai tarziu, investigheaza din exterior
identitatea femeii in cadrul societatii.
De fapt, multi dintre oamenii care mi-au vazut lucrarile
au inteles deja seria Bind ca o expresie a situatiei
femeilor japoneze, dintre care multe, chiar si in acest
moment, nu sunt libere sa decida pentru viata lor, pe
un fundal al structurilor familiei traditionale.
Cred ca arta contemporana feminista portretizeaza progresul
calitatilor senzitive ale fiintei umane in cadrul problematicilor
sociale.

The "Bind" series
of works is an expression of my human condition at the
given time: a grown-up who has taken off, out of the
world introduced by my parents and other adults, acquiring
my own thinking and experience.
"Bind" shows a woman who is dealing with her
female origin. In this work series, I am binding myself
with pigskin, which had been soaked in my blood, as
a symbol of my womanhood.
At the time, I was reflecting on my life, which was
in the process of transformation. A child before, and
living a life that adults provided me with, I started
to explore my life as an independant being - by binding
my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears with pigskin in order
to 'reset' my senses - using an aggressive sensual reduction
in order to get in touch with my core. In this way,
the "Bind" series is an artistic documentary
of my recondite development as a human being becoming
a woman. My later works, then, investigate further outside,
on female identity within society.
In fact, many people seeing my work already understood
the "Bind" series as expressing the situation
of Japanese women, of whom many are, at this time, not
free to decide their lives for themselves, in front
of the background of traditional family structures.
I believe that contemporary female art envisions the
progress of sensitive qualities of being human in a
social state of affairs.
