Abstract
My show is meant to bring up topics that usually would not just be brought up in everyday conversations. This room encourages viewers to face the reality that a feminine body is not something that should be shamed and covered up, but rather embraced. I noticed that my work encourages people to bring up subjects like feminism, purity, sexuality, and gender. These feminine shapes say more to the audience than just a naked body; standing in front of these pieces makes people relate to their own body and how it's perceived to others. If a whole room was full of naked masculine bodies then there would be a whole different interpretation. Since men's bodies are always more accepted when exposed, it doesn't give the same sense of impurity that the feminine bodies do.
