Joiri Minaya鈥檚 work focuses on the construction of the female subject in relation to nature and landscape in a 鈥渢ropical鈥 context, shaped by a foreign gaze that demands leisure and pleasure. Like nature, the feminine has been imagined throughout history as tamed, idealized, and exoticized. Minaya revises existing objects that engage in this form of representation, thus provoking questions.
