On a large white wall, a work composed of four panels is installed. The leftmost panel consists of four pieces of fabric in different shades of pink. Photographs of hands and female bodies are attached to the textiles. Part of the leftmost panel overlaps slightly with the panel to its right. This panel features large, textured, rounded shapes in shades of pale pink against a rectangular beige background. The panel to its right is similar, but the shades of pink are darker, and two legs can be discerned through the large rounded shapes. A negative of three hands is positioned between the two panels. The final panel on the right is smaller. It is a beige fabric with three monochrome photographs. The photographs individually depict legs, a stretcher, and an arm.

Multidisciplinary artist Caroline Mauxion works with fabric and video, two new mediums that she incorporates into her large-scale installations alongside photography and sculpture. Her practice is rooted in an embodied crip perspective, which, beyond autobiographical representation, focuses on physical states of being, the orientations of desires, and a sensory relationship with spaces. Her work thus fits within a phenomenological approach aiming to examine the way in which our physical experience informs how we interact with the world.
