irina - padded cell





My intention for this project was to highlight the discrepancy between the hyper-sexualized body of the fantasy female and the taboo bodily functions of real females. By inviting a viewer - namely Cole - to walk barefoot on my padded carpet and then engage with me in a cliche slumber party sex-kitten pillow fight, I aimed to humorously express my personal opinion that a woman's body should only be shared with someone who is comfortable with all manifestations of that body - whether slim and sexy or bloated and bleeding.

Thanks to Leslie Sakal for the photos.
