amən

[currently under production]

Stemming from the Hebrew word amen meaning "to be certain, to be true" amən explores notions of authenticity and appearance, and the blurred boundaries between education, culture and nature. The work navigates between drama and irony, examining identity, gender, and the complexities of masculinity and femininity within one body. Through movement, sound, and video, it invites reflection on gender representation and personal identity.

Attempting to unmask the pluralities of masculinity and femininity, the work stands as a prayer and a journey within the self. Where do education and culture end? Where does one's nature begin?
