Centre Pompidou, "Phone Call"

Personal work commissioned by the Centre Pompidou’s Studio 13/16, the “first and only space in a French cultural institution with a programme of events designed exclusively for young people”. The Centre Pompidou is a major cultural institution in Paris, seeing over 180 million visitors since its opening in 1977.

This piece is called ‘Phone Call’. A young woman listens intently on a phone call, her expression reflecting empathy and concern. In the corner is a close up of two women holding hands, suggesting a romantic connection. This artwork highlights the historical significance of gossip as a means of social bonding, and the role of communication in fostering solidarity between women.
