<< Series - Fat, Room, Exil and La Ligne ... >>
“There’s really no such thing as the ‘voiceless’.
There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”
(-by Arundhati Roy)
Series - FAT
“We currently live in an environment that stigmatizes anyone who does not meet the aesthetic or medically de ned categories of an ‘attractive’ or ‘healthy’ weight [...]
it creates and sustains fatphobia and oppression, which includes weight bias, prejudice, stigma, discrimination, bullying, violence, and cultural imperialism.”
Series - ROOM
ROOM is an ongoing series dedicated to a woman’s body.
The goal is to explore her innumerable facets,
and reduce them to simpli ed, palatable stereotypes for a patriarchal society.
Series - EXIL
“Ahmed, Mehari and Prabakaran are regulars
at the Migrant Day Center of the Geneva Red Cross located at rue de Monthoux.
Looking toward the future, these three men and all of their peers
believe in a brighter tomorrow.
This belief means the worst is in fact, behind them.”
Series - LA LIGNE
LA LIGNE (THE LINE) is that what we follow during our existence,
sometimes blindly, sometimes fully awake.
It is the sum of many disciplines including:
L’ Image (Image), Le Souf e (Breath), L’ Aliment (Food),
Le Travail (Work), Le Jeu (Play) et L’ Art (Art).
The subject is faceless because it is me, it is you and everyone.
In each drawing, they practice a discipline of LA LIGNE (THE LINE).
Biography
Born in 1986, MURZO lives and works between Switzerland and Ireland.
After a few years of travel and professional experience, she completed courses in 2D animation and in visual communication abroad.
In 2014 she began full time work as an artist. Social commentary is a main focus in her projects.
