RELIQUARIES OF HER (1996 - 2026)

Mixed Media: bronze, plexiglass, glass beads
Series of 20, various dimensions

Reliquaries of Her explores fragmentation, preservation, and reverence through sculptural containers that hold partial bodily forms. Drawing on the language of reliquaries and display, the series considers how the female body is idealized, dissected, and preserved within cultural frameworks that equate beauty with control. By isolating and housing fragments within box-like structures, the works reflect on absence, erasure, and enforced perfection, transforming the act of containment into a critical gesture that exposes the violence embedded in acts of care and preservation.
