Growing a Pair presents a delicate arrangement of metal sculptures placed in tension with other objects.
The installation interprets the saying “to grow a pair”, which denotes a masculine undertone of being strong, confident, acting courageously, especially after failing to do something. In this work, Aki articulates an embodiment that is nonbinary, consensual, and not defined by a biological or physical condition.
Growing a Pair illustrates an intimate view of the physical and psychical dissonance, where invisible translations of bodily experience outgrow the human form.
