EM+ amən

Stemming from the Hebrew word “amen”, meaning “to be certain”, “to be true”, amən explores notions of authenticity and appearance, and the blurred boundaries between education, culture and nature. The work navigates between drama and irony, examining identity, gender, and the complexities of masculinity and femininity within one body. Through movement, sound, and video, it invites reflection on gender representation and personal identity.
