Trinity Kernaz with the USSU Women's Centre


“What it Means to be a Woman” is in collaboration with the USSU Women’s Center. The project features a large-scale acrylic painting with an interactive element alongside it. The painting portrays Kernaz’s best friend, “one of the strongest women I’ve ever met”, who was born in South Korea and came to Canada when she was just 11 years old. After conducting a short interview with her friend, Kernaz captured her with elements that are dear to her and what she feels it means to be a woman. While the hardships and challenges of being a woman can be draining, Kernaz aims to create positivity and uplift the voices of women with this project.
