“Chorus,” created by Kiki Smith in 2012, is an installation artwork associated with the Feminist Art movement. This work by Smith exemplifies the genre of feminist installation art, often characterized by its exploration of feminine identity and empowerment.
The artwork comprises a series of large, star-shaped structures, each crafted with a stained glass effect incorporating vibrant, multicolored panes. Among these, a central figure of a woman, also rendered in stained glass, appears to be emerging or floating amidst the stars. The juxtaposition of the human form with celestial imagery evokes themes of transcendence, spirituality, and transformation. Set against an urban backdrop, the piece stands out vividly, inviting contemplation and dialogue on the representation and perception of women.
