Mari Katayama’s “This is how we stand our ground” show at Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve Paris, on view until December 21st

Katayama’s work sparks a provocative dialogue on identity, societal norms, and the human form. Her autobiographical exploration, through hand-sewn fabric sculptures and vivid self-portraits, goes beyond personal narrative to question how we define and perceive ourselves. The caryatid series—an ode to support and balance—merges surrealism with raw authenticity. Influenced by her own prosthetic legs, Katayama connects her sense of disconnection from the ground. Radiating grace, vulnerability, and defiance, her art challenges perceptions of beauty and rethinks the norms we uphold.
