Vulvae

Photography

In the photographic series Vulvae, attention focuses on a body part that reveals much about society’s relationship to female anatomy: a body part that, in public imagery, is largely defined by shame, insecurity, or pornographic standardization. Real, unaltered bodies are presented, without staging, retouching, or the aesthetic filters that have long shaped perceptions of the female body. The diversity of forms on view is not a provocation but a matter of fact. It points to the reality of embodied existence and places the equal value of difference at its center.
