In the nineteenth century, women were often represented as birds; caged, ornamental, valued for their beauty and compliance. Two centuries later, the cage has changed shape, but this symbolism remains. “EXIT (FLOCK)” features twenty-five written works layered onto a sculptural element exploring the exploitation of women throughout history, coinciding with the use of symbols and metaphors often used to represent femininity. Deep-rooted patriarchal systems sustain this cycle of commodification and destruction in the current day; these ideals persist not only through force but through repetition, cycles, and language. Printed on thermal receipt paper, a booklet archives these works while inherently exploring the transactional nature of relationships and cyclical decay.
