In Debris, I explore the denial of the female body manifested in the almost religious grooming habits that women undergo to feel more attractive and feminine. Most of these rituals take place in preparation for sex (or right after) and are so ingrained in our psyche that we equate them with hygiene. The residues of the (now "clean") body are then discarded privately and immediately. I am also interested in the relationship between the delicate and the grotesque, and how bodily fluids and scents can be arousing or disgusting depending on their placement (whether they are still part of the body or separated from it). I challenge these notions of femininity and sexuality by confronting the audience with large prints of grotesque fluids and body residues. The images are meant to repulse but also open our eyes to the discussion of why women seek confirmation of their femininity from an external source.
