In her performance 'Bedel', Syntia examines how the gender binary affects the connection between body and mind. She addresses the feelings of insecurity and loss that she could not resolve in her life, through her own experience of womanhood. The performance describes the role of a trans woman in society, drawing a portrait of a captive with no escape, estranged from her body and higher self.

Through 'take me with you, akira.' performance, which centers the painting of the same name, Syntia spatializes the subconscious imprints of concepts of life and death. Taking on the role of the victim in the room resembling a crime scene, Syntia offers her painting as a clue while inviting her audience to unravel this mystery. This performance, which blurs the line between art and artist, puts the responsibility of solving the crime and the criminal on the audience.
