Alice Demée, a designer and illustrator, develops a committed artistic practice centered on feminist struggles and the oppressions experienced by individuals who identify as women. Influenced by an upbringing rooted in values of equality and social justice, she uses art as a tool to break down taboos surrounding feminine identity. Through her illustrations, she explores themes such as inclusion, body diversity, tolerance, and mutual respect. Her work, both personal and professional, is driven by a strong activist approach.
She has also turned to muralism, convinced of the importance of making art accessible to all. By investing in public space, Alice Demée seeks to democratize her messages and give greater visibility to feminist issues. Walls thus become platforms for reflection and dialogue, allowing her to reach a broader audience beyond traditional art circles. Through this approach, she hopes to raise awareness and encourage collective conversations around discrimination and the fight for equality. Her work reflects a deep desire for social transformation through visual art, in support of causes she is deeply passionate about.
Artwork description
The key phases of the female cycle are closely linked to the four-phase rhythm of the moon, bringing about physical, psychological, and emotional transformations that women experience each month.
This spiritual connection encourages us to stay attuned to ourselves and to honor these natural changes.
The artwork illustrates this cycle through four female figures, each accompanied by a moon corresponding to a specific phase. The characters, in motion on swings, embody lightness and self-emancipation. Around them, birds symbolize regained freedom. This elevated state represents what can be achieved by freeing oneself from taboos and societal judgment.
