Pant Dress. 2020

Created from pants donated by the community, this dress brings together the voices of women who have experienced assault, harassment, or catcalling. It challenges the harmful idea that a person’s clothing invites such behavior, asserting that no matter what you wear, you're never asking for it. This is my version of "power dressing"—a statement of strength and defiance.

When performed, the dress becomes a commentary on power dynamics and the objectification of women. Some parts are made of mesh, while others are sewn together with zippers. Through the mesh, the model’s underwear is visible, often carrying messages that confront and challenge the male gaze, questioning the societal standards of desire and control. The dress becomes both an armor and a critique, turning the viewer’s expectations on their head.
