Gear Up, Video Art
In
the case of recursive abuse of women, the government put its stance on asking
women to behave themselves rather than making tough laws to punish the
criminals. In the wake of dejection and disbelief, hypothetical concepts popped
up, of creating future gadgets for women’s self defense. The direction was to
boost the moral of people and make them entrepreneurial rather than expressing
pain and sorrow.
Open Source
Ideas For Young Entrepreneurs, Book Art

hypothetical gadgets in the video art, went along with a documentation of each
gadget, the design approach that can be taken to make them and their

STRI 1.0 - Even she has safety bugs, Sculpture
It is a representation of geared up woman as
transformer. The reason for STRI to fail is because the protective shield has
safety bugs. It sarcastically mocks the society by saying that women walking on
the road are venerable even if they are well shielded. It depicts the system that
has completely failed to give women their right
to live without fear.
