Much like water, our bodies are in constant motion. Composed largely of water, they connect us to a vast "Hypersea" of natural and technological systems, underscoring our shared existence within a planetary web of interdependence. Drawing on Astrida Neimanis’s hydrofeminism, the female body mirrors water’s ceaseless transformations, flowing through life’s phases with strength and adaptability.

Today, we invite you to explore the fluidity of the female body—a journey where transformation and embodiment intertwine, and physicality becomes a narrative of change. Through scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and modifications, this exhibition presents the female form not as a fixed ideal but as a testament to resilience and evolution. Marks on the skin tell stories of growth, trauma, and renewal, challenging the Western tradition of idealized, static representations of the female form. Like water carving its path through landscapes, the female body continuously reshapes itself, resisting containment and reclaiming its power as an ever-changing, vital force.
