Strides

Strides is an immersive journey through womanhood, which navigates the

intricate paths shaped by societal expectations and norms. An installation where

the essence of a woman's walk is dissected through a convergence of mediums.

As an artist coming from the field of dance, I take a departure from traditional

movement exploration, delving into the realms of photography, video, audio, and

text. Through still images captured in moments frozen in time, the installation

challenges the conventional narrative of a woman's walk. The static images serve

as poignant snapshots, capturing the subtleties and complexities often

overlooked in the dynamic realm of movement.

As the audience traverse the installation, they engage with the curated blend of

visuals, sounds, and narratives. The static nature of the photographs invites them

to pause, reflect, and internalize the nuances of a woman's journey and also to

experience movement through stillness, to witness the profound impact of a

single step, and to reflect on the multifaceted layers of womanhood. It is a

dialogue around gender, challenging preconceptions, and celebrating the diverse

expressions that encapsulate the walk of every woman.
