In their debut collaborative piece, Ellis and Margolick explore their connection to their ever-evolving relationship to femininity, and the balance between their strength and vulnerability. Seeking both discomfort and safety, they draw inspiration from the matriarchs in their lives, building toward a deeper understanding of themselves. The work builds from stillness and simplicity to a rigorous grind of repetition. What begins as contained erupts into a raw, physical testament to endurance and the resilience of the female body.
