BENEATH HER 2025
BENEATH HER 2025
“Beneath Her”, exploring whether female suffering is inherent or pushed upon us as women. Featuring a multimedia sculpture projection, charcoal drawings, a watercolor self portrait and digital illustrations.
Women are taught to carry pain—quietly, instinctively, as if it were built into our very being.
"Beneath Her" explores the feelings of feminine struggle in today’s society, questioning whether
that suffering is inherent or imposed on us as women. Grief, rage, vulnerability, shame,
exhaustion- feeling as a woman, in and of itself, is something that can feel so extreme yet
inescapable. Is this something we are born with, or something we are conditioned to endure?
Daphne delves into the physical, emotional, and societal burdens placed on women, from
the silent expectations of resilience to the pressure of fitting into roles we did
not choose. That pressure imposed onto us is woven into our sexuality along with our
relationships with ourselves and others.
