Georgia Lale

This durational performance is inspired by a one-week isolation that followed the artist's cancer treatment with Radioactive Iodine. Due to the high dose of radioactivity that was given to her, she was not allowed to be around any person or animal in fear of contamination and health damage. The work is looking for a catharsis that may never be accomplished. During the performance the artist is hand washing the hospital gowns. The work aims to challenge the stereotypes around cancer, symptomless disease and invisible disability while raising awareness about the uprise of thyroid cancer in people of young age.
