Mia Aharon

Slow Burn is an intricate examination of the complexities of female experiences by confronting the prominent influence of societal expectations and gender roles, delving into trauma, discomfort, and vulnerability. It centers on the theme of female discomfort as well as the aftermath of such experiences-decreased self-esteem, self-sexualization, social withdrawal, and avoidance that often arise from these interactions. 

The series of black-and-white analog photographs employs straightforward and experimental techniques, involving the intentional degradation of film to underscore temporality, the physicality of the body, emotional dissociation, and female anger. This deliberate destruction is an act of rage-a visceral response to structural oppression and the erasure of female agency. 

Mia Aharon is a multidisciplinary artist whose photographic works chronicle daily life through alternative and traditional techniques, creating intimate yet socially conscious works that challenge norms and expectations.
