A fast-paced and provocative short video art piece that boldly examines the duality of modern social dynamics within women’s communities. The artists challenge us to confront a rarely discussed phenomenon: the psychological pressures and aggressive exclusion often found within women’s socialization. Using the visceral metaphor of a hospital setting, the film portrays a bandaged woman—dressed in a suit made of pantyhose—forcefully stripped and "made up" by the hands of other women, embodying societal expectations and internalized misogyny.

This striking work compels viewers to question the hidden tensions in women’s solidarity, exposing the painful reality of how women can be both victims and perpetrators of societal pressure. The piece sheds light on the need for honesty and accountability to foster genuine change.
