In my body of work, I confront head-on the pervasive cycle of violence and oppression against women. Through provocative mixed media, I disrupt societal complacency and challenge the normalisation of gender-based violence. Anele Turdon Inspired by my family’s history and the banality of evil theory, I create unsettling works that disturb and awaken. Using ink and thinners, I deliberately distort women’s faces, symbolizing the emotional and physical injuries inflicted during abuse. These distorted forms serve as metaphors for the corrosive effects of mistreatment on the inner self. By rendering the invisible visible, I aim to expose the insidious dynamics of abuse, normalise conversations around women’s experiences, and create an urgent need for change. Liminal Loops is an act of rebellion, refusing to silence violence and oppression. As an artivist, I seek to amplify marginalised voices, honour survivors’ strength and resilience, and break the cycles of violence.
