NADA Curated: Reduction to Satire (Reductio ad Satura)

The biomorphic sculptures of Maria Petrovskaya blend body parts with a psychological narrative that highlights the complexity of being a female and a human, and highlight the pervasive sexualization of women. Petrovskaya is interested in the resulting coping mechanisms that develop to reconcile the opposites–pressure to be viewed as desirable and refusal to be objectified, harassed or intimidated.
