Locker Room (2021-2023)

The new series of portraits and graphics Locker Room, captures the violation of personal boundaries and the formation of the psychology of submissiveness, so familiar to Russian society since childhood.
Locker Room delves into the uncomfortable reality of being forced to expose oneself to others in situations such as medical exams, and military enlistment offices. Drawing from her own experiences growing up in Russia where still there are no doors or locks in shclools bathroom stalls, Anosova explores the trauma and shame associated with these experiences. Through her work, she highlights the lack of agency and disregard for dignity that individuals, especially children, face in these situations. Anosova’s project is a reflection on vulnerability, nurturing submissiveness and how social directives can harm the individual.
