50 ways to leave your lover
Hand mirror, performance photos on transparency, resin, nails
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover is a grid of fifty small mirrors, each containing an image of the artist embodying various archetypes of femininity: the seductress, the lover, the femme fatale. Printed on transparent acetate and layered with resin, these images draw from cinematic portrayals of women in porn or erotica, evoking allure and vulnerability. The mirrors are arranged in a gradient, shifting from dark and mysterious to nearly transparent, fading into invisibility. As viewers approach, they see the artist in each frame—direct gazes, turned backs, and quiet, introspective poses—while also catching glimpses of themselves reflected. In the final mirror, only the viewer remains, suggesting an introspective moment that challenges the line between objectification and self-reflection, presence and absence.
