"Burusera" is a series of photographs copied using the gum bichromate process, which interrogates the sexualization of the female body. The title, derived from the Japanese word referring to the fetishism of underwear, grounds this project in a reflection on social codes and the pressures exerted on women. By depicting panties hanging on a clothesline, each image becomes a metaphor for the tension between imposed sexualization and the quest for personal freedom.

The panties, everyday objects, are photographed in a way that reveals a fragile intimacy. The lace that adorns some pieces is hand-embroidered with silver thread, symbolizing how this same sexualization can be both endured and chosen.

Through "Burusera," I question how my choices in underwear reflect the sexualization imposed on me by society, but also that which, consciously or not, I impose on myself. In a society that values beauty and seduction, how can we make choices that are our own while navigating a world where our image is constantly scrutinized and judged?

Should we fully participate in imposed norms or, on the contrary, resist them? Is it possible to play with these expectations while maintaining a form of autonomy, without being defined by what is expected of us? Can we, while living in this society, free ourselves from the pressure of image and perfection, or are we doomed to play the role we are assigned?

"Burusera" is thus both a personal and universal project that questions the complexity of our relationship with our bodies, the image we project, and how society shapes our choices. Through this series, I aim to make visible the ambiguity of this experience – an exploration of desire, freedom, and the confrontation with a world that imposes an image to which we must sometimes adapt, while striving to preserve our own identity.
