Monogamy Aversion explores the tension between expectation and autonomy within the context of intimacy. The composition constructs a figure that feels both present and divided—assembled through layered imagery that resists a singular, stable identity.
Repetition and fragmentation disrupt the idea of exclusivity, suggesting a shifting relationship to attachment, control, and desire. What initially appears unified begins to separate, revealing the complexity beneath socially prescribed structures.
As with much of Van Atta’s work, the surface becomes a site of negotiation—where visibility, identity, and meaning are continuously constructed and redefined.
