resignação
In Resignation, Laura M Mattos highlights the relationship between the figure of women facing the passage of time: from the girl who discovers woman to the woman who no longer perceives herself as young. The poetics of the compositions portray insecurity in the face of the new body, the need to reorganize as a subject, the understanding of this new social role - girl, woman, mother, daughter, lady - as well as the grief over the loss of old roles. While her previous works used accessories as a form of impersonality and exposure of objectification of the female figure, Resignation addresses female subjectivity and its organicity through frames and scenarios.
