ARTIST STATEMENT
INVISIBLE delves into the intricate relationship between women and technology through the lenses of gender studies, feminist theory, and visual culture. This project blends digital illustration with traditional photography to create striking artwork. Through extensive interviews and theoretical research, “INVISIBLE” examines the profound impact technology has on women. While technology brings convenience to modern life, it also objectifies women’s essence, exacerbating the gender equality gap. In a male-dominated tech industry, it is crucial for feminists to decode the true implications of technological advancements. As female artists and photographers, we must leverage technology to redefine our narratives and inspire change among women. Dr. Jennifer Hall’s assertion that “one single identity can push other single identities” is a guiding principle for this project. It highlights the power of individual identity in shaping broader social paradigms. “INVISIBLE” demonstrates that science and technology encompass not only hardware and software but also our inner selves and societal roles. This project is a call to action for women to reclaim their narrative within the digital realm, using technology as a tool for empowerment and equality. Through “INVISIBLE,” I aim to challenge and reshape perceptions, encouraging a critical examination of how technology influences and transforms women’s lives and identities.
