“CHASTITY BELT”

My oeuvre navigates the complex terrain of sexual purity, exposing the historical and societal apparatuses designed to assert dominance over women’s bodies. From the barbaric practices of female genital mutilation to the imposition of abstinence devices,

my work unveils the pervasive yet often overlooked narratives surrounding women’s sexuality and the systemic pressures to adhere to rigid standards of purity. Through this lens, the objective is to provoke critical reflection and spark a dialogue on the enduring impact of such control mechanisms on both individuals and societies.
