Gold 2018

This performance piece plays with the notion of women as commodities to be acquired by men as wives and investigates the role of gold as a signifies in those transactions. It also invokes the traditional practice of husbands and brides paying dowries, but juxtaposes that traditional practice against present day scenes and social realities of urban America.
