Journey To The Underworld
Video, 10:00 min, 2021

Journey to The Underworld draws from self-reflection. It is a matrilineal collaboration between three generations of women. The artist’s mother, grandmother, and niece appear in the film. The video questions social constructions and how these influence and occasionally repress our notions of pleasure.
