Woman for Sale

 An experimental performance installation 

Woman for Sale is an experimental performance installation that started as a costume design exam assignment. The assignment was to design a costume that was integral to a performance. I had so many things to say but loudest of all was how the dehumanization/ objectification of women is a normal and casual in our societies and I'm willing to argue is entangled in the root of the prevalence of the myriad of violence we face from , rape and human trafficking,  various forms of  mental and physical abuse to hateful comments and behaviors towards our varied appearances. I chose then to simply physicalize the "meat market" of women who were as inanimate objects, priced according to the cultural beauty standards , complexion, age, weight, hair texture and shape and simply wondered;  What would happen when people were confronted with  them, objects, women, for sale?
