#NO NAME

I consider recent acts of violence towards women in this artwork. In #Noname , i respond to the 2012 Delhi gang rape,” as it came to be known, when Jyoti Singh Pandey, a twenty-three-year-old physiotherapy intern, was beaten, gang raped, and tortured in a private bus she was travelling on in in New Delhi. The crime immediately riveted Indian society, setting off street protests, months of national and international media coverage, and was considered in India as a game changer in the public opinion on the epidemic problem of rape. #No name installation tell a story of a past event that should not be forgotten. It is a reminder of the cruel hatred towards women that occurs through the dehumanisation of the female body. This sculptural language signifies a shrine; rather than honouring Hindu deities, I honours the mundane subjugated female victims of misogynist violence.
