With my What is Her installation, video and audio piece exploring my personal relationship with myself and femininity. Exploring the feelings of being a woman in today's society and the struggles and experiences I have had to face growing up. Specifically in my case, growing up I was told to act a certain way because of my sex/gender. I should be more ladylike and act like a woman. However, that never made sense to me because I am just me and I don't feel anything else, I am just who I am. However, from an outside perspective I am a “her.” I am a being who looks like a ‘her’, acts like a ‘her’, menstruates like a ‘her’, and has trauma from being a ‘her’. Therefore, growing up and exploring how I am as a woman, specifically one with a vagina and who menstruates, it was a struggle trying to find who I am in this world. Therefore What is Her is a representation of who I am now and the complications and achievements I have experienced till today.
