Abstract

It is my intention to create a visual epic drama with a woman as its hero. This Female hero will go through a journey that will metaphorically correspond to points of conflict of womanhood (through the ages) with institutions of power. The viewer is called to interact with the artwork on an aesthetic level first. Then he/she is invited to explore the story line - a combination of the artwork. Finally, the viewer is challenged to interpret the drama by using the titles of each individual piece.
