Unbodied, draws from a personal medical struggle and subsequent diagnosis, sparking a conversation on the historically complex and often misunderstood nature of women’s bodies and health. It considers the historical lens through which their physical and mental health has been viewed, a lens often clouded by misogyny and myth surrounding 'female nature’.
Within the series, the age-old narratives of hysteria, witchcraft, and other damaging myths become points of inquiry. These archaic constructs, once used to police and pathologies women's bodies, linger subtly within Western healthcare today, affecting diagnosis and treatment.
Unbodied employs photography, moving image and performative self-portraiture to confront these misinterpretations. The work deepens the conversation by layering these elements with archival material concerning representations of women’s health, presenting an interdisciplinary exploration across different periods and societal contexts. It probes into how these historical perceptions persist and influence the contemporary understanding of our bodies.
