My work delves into themes of female independence and empowerment, portraying women who embrace their autonomy and inner strength. There’s a connection to the concept of Lysistrata, where women assert their power through abstinence. I choose to work with manual techniques, drawing inspiration from ancient pottery. The bold black outlines and earthy orange hues in my piece echo those ancient styles and tie into my current exploration of pixelation and traditional motifs.

At its core, the masturbating woman in my work symbolizes a fearless, independent warrior, unburdened by societal taboos, and focused on peace and creation. Another part of the piece depicts three women, which serves as a metaphor for the solidarity women find in their shared tenderness and unity.
