Artwork Description

Cordless

0.0 x 0.0

Cordless represents a woman divided between her past and her present. On the left, her interior, purity, and perfection; on the right side, her exterior the gross matter, the mistreated body. The rope is a symbol of pain between trauma and post-trauma, pain and sublimation. Hanging from a "necklace" as a symbol of beauty and at the same time, dead (hung) violently, ethical and aesthetic concepts in a unified and yet separate piece. Battered women are scarred for life by a rope of violence. Despite the wounds, there is one side that remains intact, the inside of that innocent girl who deserves a life without mistreatment.
