Spot, 2005 |  Single-channel video, 4:54 min, with sound





A woman accidentally stains her shirt with lipstick while preparing herself before a mirror. What begins as a minor mishap escalates into compulsion as she scrubs harder and harder, eventually stepping fully clothed into the bathtub. The simple act of erasure becomes excessive and futile, and the humorous outcome exposes the anxieties of self-presentation and the impossibility of perfection.
