Frail but Indomitable is an audiovisual interactive installation which aims to reverse the relationship between spectator/gazing and woman's body/gazed. The installation was primarily inspired by The Malady of Death, a novella by Marguerite Duras, and La Maja Vestida, a painting by Francisco Goya from the early 1800s. It's one of the class projects for Video and Media Design System Studio taught by Larry Shea.

Duras describes a female character as fail but indomitable in his novel, highlighting the power she has over the male character despite being controlled sexually. La Maja Vestida is in fact one of a series of two paintings – one nude and one clothed. It is one of the first paintings with a female character gazing directly at the audience. The nude version is also one of the first to portray female pubic hair.
