(S)Exist

Every day, individuals are subjected to stereotypes that confine them to narrow, predetermined roles based on their gender. These stereotypes can be suffocating, limiting personal expression and impeding the pursuit of one’s true self. (S)Exist is an artistic endeavor that boldly confronts this issue, aims to guide us to question the assumptions we have. It is a thought-provoking journey that seeks to challenge, deconstruct, and ultimately shatter the rigid boxes society has placed around gender.
