This project is a part of ongoing research about the women warriors of the Scythians nomadic tribe. Based on archaeological records and bioarchaeological reports, the research shows that hunter-warrior horsewomen were a historical reality from the western Black Sea to northern China for more than 1000 years. While examining gender fluidity among the Scythians tribe, I’ve Got You Under My Skin suggests new ways of seeing the feminine.
in the prison
of my own skin
i live among gods
with human faces
condemned to passivity
i mistrust the given word
walk me through the rose garden
do you smell that
an odor of sadness
arises from the flesh
all the freedom
is in the other
