Marked and Mounted explores themes of exposure, gender dynamics, and control through the symbolic lens of the trophy plaque. Each artwork features a delicate glass "pillow," evoking associations with femininity and the domestic realm — traditionally viewed as spaces of tenderness and nurturing. From these pillows emerge raw, organ-like forms that resemble intestines — evoking masculinity, physicality, and internal conflict.

Presented like hunting trophies, these sculptural elements critique societal stories about dominance, possession, and the objectification of bodies. The soft pink backgrounds deliberately invoke traditional ideas of femininity, contrasting the unsettling textures of the forms and creating a visual friction between allure and unease.

This work reflects on how softness — often linked to the feminine — can be pursued, claimed, and displayed, while masculinity is framed through aggression and conquest. Marked and Mounted invites the viewer to examine the uneasy interplay between admiration, control, and what it costs to be rendered visible.
