Drawing inspiration from participatory discussions on shared feminine experiences that she organizes and leads, Cindy Phenix paints to navigate the tenuous relationship between the public and private, creating complex compositions that explore the power relations that influence social transactions and how these structures govern our behavior and shape our views on societal conduct.
