Sext Me, I'm Bored

'Sext Me, I’m Bored' critiques patriarchal pressures on women to endlessly give, self-sacrifice, and perform exhausting roles, leading to depletion and deprivation while satisfying societal expectations and others’ needs.

Blurring the line between delusion and reality, 'Sext Me, I'm Bored' follows the shaky moments after sending a sext; a young woman questions her place in the world, the consequences of her choices, and if paperback porn will ever make a return to the mainstream.
Through self-discovery, she reclaims power within spaces often associated with shame, finding agency in her own sexualisation, sensuality, and pornography while confronting the ways women’s voices and experiences are so frequently silenced.

This work explores the emotional and psychological realities young women face while navigating sexuality, mental health, and societal expectation. Inspired by conversations with sex workers and sex-positive communities, the work reflects on the influence of contemporary pornography and mass media on representations of women, intimacy, and identity.
