Transfiguration (2009)

•  This piece was created as a result of the Porapara Performance Art Workshop,2009, in which the body, space, and clothing were used to create a language. Clothing has three functions: protection, modesty, and adornment. Last is no mere veil or screen, but a surface on which we may present an image of ourselves. Dress both conceals the body and conveys its messages. On the other hand, the act of changing clothes in a public space is a violation of norms of acceptable social behavior, was my way of transforming public and social spaces. The dress gives a recognizable appearance to the mysterious object of desire. Sometimes it reveals more than it hides. In this performance, I'm addressing a comprehensive trip through many periods of life, from birth to death, in which we battle to adjust ourselves at every turn. With the inclusion and exclusion of new experiences, love, suffering, and relationships, life comes to an end.
