Tryptich 01

To lessen misunderstandings in this sensitive subject, let’s invoke the book of words, for, beyond words’ immediate denotations, they have connotative powers.
For people with vaginas, orgasms commonly come from the clitoris.

Female Genital Mutilation: the most severe — infibulation — is the removal of the clitoris and parts of the external genitalia followed by stitching together of what remains.

Words are like pearls, rolling formed, developed and cultivated over time, treasured, colourful, shiny, lustrous pearls of wisdom. Pearls, as pure and innocent symbolising the clitoris, have an imaginary value. The value of a word, of a clitoris, is what we designate for it.

The women of this series are, as women around the world, silenced.
Triptychs, the centre locked in between two worlds, one mirroring the other.
