Perspective Correction is a work in dialogue with Jan Dibbets' photo series titled Perspective Corrections. In these works,  Dibbets used photography, perspective and geometric shapes to generate optical illusions and disrupt the viewer's perception of a scene. The essential qualities of photography are used to challenge traditional notions of representation, prompting viewers to question the authenticity of what is captured in the image versus what is actually on the scene.

Building on his work, in this performance for the camera, I use manicure scissors to cut an oval shape into the grass of a public park in Phoenix, Arizona. The intervention made using manicure scissors suggest an association with self-grooming and the feminized body. Maintaining a lawn using manicure scissors is an invitation to examine constructed ideals of beauty and reflect on aesthetic maintenance habits that are  incongruent with the health of feminized bodies and the environment.
