(Glass) Closet

(GLASS) CLOSET

(Glass) Closet uses the image of the closet as a fragile architecture of concealment. Constructed entirely from glass, the structure simultaneously promises protection while making concealment impossible.

The work reflects on queer subjectivities that remain exposed even while attempting to hide, becoming legible to social norms before they are able to come out on their own terms.

Positioned between visibility and denial, the sculpture examines how identity is often projected onto bodies from the outside, transforming the closet from a private refuge into a transparent mechanism of surveillance. In this condition, concealment ceases to function.

The sculpture is an integral part of the (Glass) Closet performance, an interdisciplinary work conceived by the artist. The performance seeks to raise awareness of queerphobia in regions where LGBTQIA+ identities remain taboo, while fostering dialogue beyond the boundaries of the traditional art world. By bringing the conversation into public and non-institutional spaces, the project aims to engage audiences who may not ordinarily encounter contemporary art. The (Glass) Closet sculptural installation functions as the central element of this performance, embodying its conceptual and political core.
