Predacious is a single-channel video installation that examines the natural phenomenon of aggressive mimicry, where a predator imitates a more innocuous species to lure and capture its prey. This concept serves as a metaphorical framework to critique the ways society assigns malicious intent to those who identify as women or femme.

The work interrogates terms like “tease”, “seductress”, “temptress”, and “thirst-trap”— labels that shame individuals for proudly existing in their own bodies, both in physical and digital spaces. By depicting a creature that ensnares and devours its prey (which are various phallic-shaped foods), I highlight the irrational cultural anxieties surrounding castration, emasculation, and rejection that result from confident and empowered femme energy.
