Devouring- Devouring confronts the persistence of the male gaze and the violence it enacts upon women’s bodies—visibly, invisibly, and generationally. The work unfolds through a charged metaphor: a woman who carries within herself a divine, overwhelming force, capable of consuming the very structures that seek to dominate her. In this video, the act of “devouring” is not rooted in aggression but in reclamation. It symbolizes a reversal of power—where the female body, long objectified, surveilled, and threatened, becomes a site of resistance and transcendence. The woman emerges as a mythic figure, a primordial presence who absorbs, dismantles, and neutralizes the violent impulses embedded in patriarchal desire. Rather than depicting violence, Devouring transforms it. The imagery suggests a goddess-like being who swallows the symbols of male aggression—not to destroy men, but to devour the cycle of harm itself. In doing so, she embodies the possibility of liberation, purification, and renewal. The work asks: What happens when the gaze that once consumed women is finally consumed by them?
