You Can Smoke Me (Feminised Patriarchy’s Pyramid)
Feminizing is a patriarchal

The work is a visualization of the patriarchy dilemma stimulated continually in our social systems. It is a performative installation that contains a feminised weed plant surrounded by drawings of the five stages that Yazan Maksoiud questioned in the power systems influenced by the patriarchal theory in our society. Yazan will install his own feminised tree that was prepared to serve this kind of power agency development in our life. Here, they will be revealing an image of how our bodies were controlled to behave and grow in specific ways that serve these developments of the dominant powers in our social pyramid. On other hand, this work deals with a real plant as a medium of research and work in his art. This dead tree will be constituting a real image of the rushed life circle we all live in this big capitalistic system ruling our world nowadays. How our bodies nature is moulded to behave in these systems? What are these realities we live in?

De muren hebben oren

"De benen nemen" (to take to one's legs/to bolt)—why do we say it that way? Instead of just saying "I'm leaving"? At the same time, people are judged if they don't speak "correct" Dutch. We accept all sorts of crazy proverbs, yet a tiny grammatical error can sometimes be enough to dismiss someone.I am fascinated by how we communicate with one another. How we take it for granted. How words follow rules, how objects communicate with us, and how we, in turn, interpret them. And then there are those proverbs, which often describe things whose meaning is no longer literal at all. Do we truly understand each other, or is that not the case and are we just pretending? In my work, I look for the confusion within proverbs sometimes by depicting them literally, sometimes by changing something small about them.
