Renée de Sans

Website https://renedesans.net

Renée is a visual artist whose work focuses on the body as a site of narrative, emotion, and presence. She explores identity, gender, and vulnerability, drawing on her experience as a trans femme. Her practice combines aesthetic precision with attunement to sensation and emotional nuance, transforming personal and shared vulnerability into moments of connection and resonance.

In her rope work, she engages both perspectives — being tied and tying others — combining technical skill with the subtle dynamics of trust, touch, and dialogue. She treats ropes as a medium for presence, emotional intensity, and storytelling. Through workshops, performances, and visual projects, she aims to create spaces where bodies of all identities can explore connection, play, and self-expression.
