  • Skin & Stones
    Skin & Stones examines cultural identity, inequality, and the ways violence can be justified through social convention, religious belief, or legal authority. The work draws attention to situations in which fundamental human rights are compromised, including capital punishment and honor killings, where violence is sanctioned as a form of justice, punishment, or social control, particularly over women and their sexuality.

    The sculptures are completed only through the audience's decision. Visitors are invited either to throw a stone, damaging the object, or to refrain, preserving it. The work transforms the viewer from observer into participant, making individual choice inseparable from the outcome.

    Rather than offering a moral judgment, Skin & Stones asks where responsibility begins. It considers how violence is justified, how complicity is created, and whether choosing not to act can itself become an act of protection.
