My Laughing Vagina
In this artwork investigates the power of language and the meaning associated with words, specifically the word vagina.
The vagina, although a word to describe a part of the female anatomy, brings up negative connotations for many people and I wanted to create a work that breaks down this relationship with the word vagina.
This video focuses on my mouth which symbolises a vagina. The laughter and the repeated use of the word vagina seeks to ease the shame and guilt that surrounds this word.
This is my healing.
