Predacious is a single-channel video installation that examines the natural phenomenon of aggressive mimicry, in which a predator imitates the appearance or behavior of a more innocuous species to lure and capture its prey. Using this phenomenon as a metaphorical framework, the work considers how femininity is often viewed through a lens of suspicion, exposing the ways society assigns manipulation, deception, and malicious intent to women.

The work interrogates terms such as “tease,” “seductress,” “temptress,” and “thirst trap,” labels that shame individuals for confidently inhabiting and expressing themselves through their bodies, both in physical and digital spaces. By depicting a creature that ensnares and devours its prey, the work exposes cultural anxieties surrounding castration, emasculation, and rejection that emerge in response to expressions of empowered femininity.
