To Support and Cover Up consists of bras sewn together and coated in glossy black paint, transforming them from functional garments into sculptural objects. The black paint creates a stark contrast, symbolizing the tension between societal expectations of femininity and personal expression. The bras, traditionally symbols of support, now serve as metaphors for the pressures placed on women's bodies and identities. The addition of steel chains highlights themes of constraint and control, linking the bras in a way that suggests entrapment. This use of chains symbolizes both physical and metaphorical restriction, reflecting the ways societal norms limit autonomy.
Overall, the piece critiques the complex relationship between personal identity, societal roles, and the body, reimagining everyday objects to challenge traditional notions of gender, support and empowerment.
