It's Natural

Performance, 2024

Confronts the constructed nature of gender identity, positioning it in contrast to the idea of inherent, biological truth. Drawing from Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, the piece exposes how gender and sexuality are not fixed traits but social constructs shaped by historical discourses, institutional practices, and power structures. Through the exaggeration of artificiality, the performance becomes a political act—a critique of the rigid norms that dictate how bodies should be seen, presented, and understood. Inspired by the vibrant subversiveness of Wigstock (1995), It’s Natural embraces transformation, fluidity, and spectacle as tools of resistance, reclaiming the body as a space of agency and self-definition.
