Do you feel threatened by male while walking alone?
How does it make you feel?
What are your coping strategies?
What is your biggest wish in that moment?
I asked these questions to women from my surroundings. I thank them for their honest answers. I don't know about you, but it all makes me so incredibly angry and sad.

About
Marthe Howitz, born in Dresden in 1990, studied 'Music and Movement at the Berlin University of the Arts, Contemporary Arts Practice at the Bern University of the Arts (Switzerland) and received her diploma in sculpture at the Berlin Weißensee School of Art in summer 2023. Her work focuses on her origins and the discourse on normative body forms. She tries to find intersections in the everyday, to enlarge them, to reduce them, both spatially and temporally, and to enable the viewer to access them. She uses various media of expression to achieve this. Each theme calls for its own material. She is very enthusiastic about handicraft and immersing herself in the material. In addition to ceramics, she uses etching, performance and photography as a medium of expression.
