It's Natural

Performance, 2024

It’s Natural explores the contradictions between what is perceived as natural and the social structures that shape and constrain the body. Wearing a sculptural form made of expanding spray foam, the performer repeatedly declares, “It’s natural,” while negotiating the physical limitations imposed by the material.

The tension between the spoken affirmation and the visible struggle creates a contradiction: what is presented as natural is revealed through effort, discomfort, and restriction. Through repetition, the phrase gradually loses its apparent certainty, exposing the absurdity of accepting constructed conditions as inevitable.

The performance investigates how bodies adapt to, reproduce, and resist the structures that simultaneously enable and constrain them.
