The Rape of the Sabine Women 2024

This series of mirror balls, printed with iconic historical paintings of sexual violence—such as The Rape of the Sabine Women by Rubens and Picasso—explores the unsettling continuity of gender-based violence across time. The rotating disco balls reflect fractured, shimmering light across their surroundings, transforming spaces typically associated with joy and freedom into poignant sites of reflection. By juxtaposing the elegance of the disco ball with the brutal subject matter of the paintings, the work highlights the persistent presence of sexual violence in contemporary nightlife culture. The mirrored surfaces not only serve as literal reflections but also provoke deeper contemplation on society’s enduring failure to protect women, linking past atrocities with present realities.
