Product details

and they leave me in the dark is a work that unpacks the consistent violence and death against women globally, indefinitely referencing the numerous amounts of murders where men have disposed of a women's body through placing their remains in garbage bags and throwing them away. From a compositional standpoint, this work was created via photocopying my separate body onto a blank score and using those as general structural guidelines in the work. Specifically, this work resonates with the murder of Shraddha Walkar in 2022, where her body was cut into 35 separate pieces, her face was charred to disfigure her identity and the pieces of her body were disposed of gradually in the forest of Chhatarpur in India.

This work is dedicated to the women we have lost under these circumstances.
