Namae MYOJI
As an artist, my focus is on issues surrounding women's bodies, sexuality, identity, and the consumption of femininity. Our identities are all shaped by the culture and community to which we belong to. Even the Framework of gender is not an exception, Through creating artworks, I continuously question how people define themselves as “men” or “women” in their communities, what forms our identities, and the gender-oriented distortions caused by this identity formation in society.
