I Wish I May, I Wish I Might is a performance partly inspired by the iconic African-American performer Jospehine Baker also known as the “Black Venus.” Perched on a foam structure atop the fountain, the artist will perform a series of rituals that wrap and unwrap constructs of womanhood and desire. In this performance, Western mythological goddesses of love, beauty and desire such as Venus and Aphrodite, will be animated by loose interpretations of western and non-western female rituals. This performance is a collision of Western and non-Western ideals, eras, and feminine standards.
