>Textile Installation - Boxing Bag<
This piece explores masculine and feminine identity through a hand-sewn textile boxing bag. It embodies both strength and vulnerability, challenging traditional views of femininity while honouring the complexity of womanhood. By incorporating soft materials such as white lace, text, curtains, tea towels, pearls and beads either found or passed down from my grandparents, I illustrate the coexistence of beauty and strength. This project reflects my personal journey and invites contemplation on how women balance their identities, merging toughness with tenderness in a conversation that respects both aspects of their experiences. The installation is suspended from the warehouse beams, creating an industrial juxtaposition with the work.
