Senior Thesis: A Cycle of Subjugation

An exhibition and art installation created for my senior capstone at Arizona State University, inspired by the negative cycle perpetuated when women have a lack of access to education and contraception. Due to this, many women face unplanned pregnancies and limited autonomy, further reducing opportunities and deepening gender inequality.

The exhibit features an interactive large birth control container, where viewers can take out and interact with each pill. Each daily dose represents a piece of this cycle that begins again when you reach the end of the ‘month’. The final piece was publicly displayed in May 2025, and was received extremely well.
