“The task of remembering one's many selves is a difficult liberatory task.”
― María Lugones.
This work is inspired by María Lugones' “plurality of selves” that coexist in an individual and a continuous reflection on my ongoing creative research of gender violence against women and identities not aligned with the colonial project. The elements in this piece create metaphors to guide the audience in witnessing three women through different states coming to terms with themselves and claiming their right to own and rule their lives through a loving, healing, and mutually supportive environment.
