TEMPORARY SCULPTURES
Miami
Temporary Sculptures Pt. 4 (Miami) takes place along the shore of South Beach, the day after my 30th birthday.
Stemming off the last iteration of this performance in 2021, a year and a half later, the question remained: how do my thoughts about my body restrain my interaction with the environments around me?
The new question that formed during this performance was how did I view my body at 30?
By this time my grown woman curves had set in. And like those curves, my feelings about them went up and down.
It would be the first of many changes my body would undergo where I resisted.
As time continues to pass, I still find myself in a tug-of-war battle between how I look, how I want to look, and how I used to look.
This work has shown me my need for control and how I've exercised this need through the beliefs I have about my body that results in restraining it. It has made me aware of the thought patterns that have been on loop in my head since I was a child. ​
