From a trans AFAB (Assigned Female At Birth) perspective, it reflects on the complex, and sometimes conflictive, relationship that is created with the body in general and  the breast in particular. Starting from this embodied experience, identity takes on a corporality that we present to society.

The binary perspective of gender and the man–masculinity / woman–femininity dichotomy create rigid boundaries in which one is expected to remain. When bodies exist outside those norms, they are seen as failed or abject, leading, at times, to the impulse to torture, crush, or tear away the breast.

The hands compress the breast, performing an action that deforms and transforms it, changing its meaning. However, there is also an affective perspective that resists tearing it away, freezing in the act. In this way, these two modes of being, inhabiting, and embodying the body coexist.
