Ryoko Suzuki, series: Bind The Bind series expresses my inner-self: a grown-up who has left the world introduced by her parents and other adults. Acquiring my own thinking and being,Bind shows a woman who has to deal with her female sexuality. In this work series, I bound myself with pigskin, which had been soaked in my blood as a symbol of womanhood. I was feeling and thinking about my life-in which I had transformed from a child who just believed what adults provided — leading it my very own way, as a woman, while wrapping my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears with pigskin. In this way, the Bind series are recordings of actions reflecting these considerations.(text: Brooklyn Museum)
