Worn out
In WORN OUT, Aleksandra transforms typical men’s garments - shirts and blazers, long-standing symbols of power, professionalism, and status - into bold instruments of protest. Once worn by politicians, businessmen, and figures of authority to signify control and respectability, these items become canvases for resistance. Adorned with hand-painted slogans and vivid vulva imagery, the garments reject the authority they once represented.
This textile installation confronts the legacies of patriarchy by dismantling symbols of dominance from the inside out. The once-neutral uniform of male power is rendered loud, defiant, and unapologetically feminist. Through this act of repurposing, Aleksandra reclaims the fabric of the system to unravel its assumptions about gender, representation, and control.
WORN OUT echoes the urgency of protest while remaining intimate and tactile. Its format - protest art that could be worn - blurs the boundary between body and banner, private and political.
