That escalated quickly.
It is about rape, so yeah. The telling of trauma is intentional.
Oh interesting. I definitely see that now. I thought it was “passion according to gh”
I read it as about menstruation
Interesting. The sexual assault reading comes from the artist.
My first look was similar. But after reading the comments and looking again, it became more obvious to be about rape.
That's what I said, in the comments.
I'm agreeing with you.
Oh ok, I see it now. It seemed abstract at first glance.
Totally. It is a bit abstract, or perhaps Dada or Surrealism inspired. It could be said that trauma is baked into those movements.
It's considered surrealist by which ever groups of Art History PhDs who decide these things
Makes sense.
Sometimes to properly show the horrors of the real you have to leave the real behind
Yeah, history and art don't repeat themselves, contemporaries rhyme with the past.
