Mira Pedlar's photographic work delves into the realms of tension, fragmentation, and the abstraction of the human form. With an unwavering exploration of gender and femininity, her imagery strikes a harmonious yet often provocative chord. Employing a delicate balance between visibility and a concealed desire, her visuals invite viewers to embark on a journey of unraveling its many layers.

Through the deliberate abstraction of the human form, she constructs enigmatic shapes that intertwine with feminine motifs. These intricate compositions serve as catalysts, challenging the emotional and physical complexities of gender identity. By contorting and reshaping the captured forms, her work sheds light on the intricate tapestry of gender in contemporary society, while provoking deep contemplation and introspection.
