“Pink Issue” is an experimental performance where the artist uses their own body as a battleground for gender identity. The performance features gender-signifying objects—”breasts” and “penises”—cast from the actual bodies of diverse male and female volunteers. The artist arranges, alters, and experiments with attaching these objects to their own body to explore the feelings, conflicts, and impacts that arise when both genders coexist within a single physical form. 

These objects are cast in plaster—a material that is hard, brittle, and heavy—to reflect the violence of societal gender definitions and the weight of carrying an identity that cannot bend to the owner’s true anatomy. 

Within the exhibition space, these gender-signifying objects are displayed as part of the installation. Visitors are invited to freely interact with them, whether by drawing, painting, writing messages, touching, or even destroying them. This extends the exploration from the artist to the audience, turning the question back upon society: How do we construct gender, and what does that gender do to our bodies?
