"As  we know modern Japan is a dialogue between tradition and contemporary  life. This project is a research on female body representation in anime,  manga and Japanese prints. Furthermore, it is a comparison between Onna  Musha’s (female warriors) representation in pre-modern Japanese prints  with the contemporary hypersexualized female representation of today’s  anime and manga. It’s a series of sculptures that represent the duality  of the previously mentioned iconography and aesthetic, through delicate  and translucent pieces.  The exhibition has an important Japanese  historical analysis where symbols are used to depict the fluctuation  between fragility and strength. For the artist, it is important to  question today’s female representation and think of culture as a media  where bodies can be thought of as a form of communication. The title  Visual Pleasure and Narrative honors the text of Laura Mulvey who  created the Male gaze term, an important term for this exhibition and  the artist’s work while questioning the spectator and creator at the  same time."
