Place of Interest, 2015
When I think of a sink I think of Kitchen and when I think of a kitchen I think of a female figure at the sink doing dishes. This series of sinks investigates the interest in sinks that is enforced by my gender. I feel the need to be at a sink and feel the need to wash the dishes. Why is it that I feel so? I was trained to stand at the sink to fulfill my gender role and serve the men in the house the nourishing food they deserve and clean up after them.
I don't want to accept such role and I don't believe the sink is meant to be for a female. The sink is a utilitarian object made for the comfort of all people regardless of their sex. More peckers need to take an interest in the place of sinks.
