Statement
"Shedding Femininity" is a rude response to the fetishization of women's bodies. Despite the #MeToo movement and woman after woman testifying in court and in congress, there are too few victories in reclaiming our bodies. Time after time women continue to be toyed with or violated, in the name of religion, job promotion or physical health. "Shedding Femininity" is an allegorical strip tease, the unzipped ass and cunt left behind by women who've had enough.

Statement
