Libido
The female libido is often misunderstood, oversimplified, and 100 years ago was thought by many not to exist. I’ve been on my own journey of discovery and awakening, and through this, I feel female libido and sexual desire are often shrouded in shame and misconceptions, and I want to change this.
The project began with me writing a letter to my libido, and I have set up a portal here so that women can also submit anonymous letters to their libido. These letters will take me on an explorative, creative journey to create a series of images.
These artworks will become an exhibition/book/magazine and will be presented alongside the text from the letters to ‘My Libido’. I want to encourage conversations, raise awareness, and help women feel more empowered to talk about and understand their bodies and desires.
Within my own friendships, I find that many women don’t feel comfortable discussing this subject, and my aim is to create a body of work that will allow women to hear the voices of other women and feel unified in their experiences.
