As part of the exhibition, I developed a conceptual essay grounded in the research conducted during my residency in Vaasa, Finland. The essay examines dressing as a method of disruption and resistance, particularly within the context of migration and visibility politics.

Presented as an independent work within the exhibition, the text introduces writing as a methodological element of my practice and reflects how research operates alongside visual production in this project.

A framed first draft of the essay was exhibited on the wall, highlighting its provisional and processual character. Next to it, a separate sculptural installation displayed a limited edition of printed copies, available only during the exhibition.

This decision was made to resist the logic of broad, unrestricted circulation and instead offer access to the essay in a controlled, intimate setting, one shaped by presence, encounter, and spatial context. By doing so, the work questioned who gets access to knowledge, under what conditions, and through which modes of distribution.
