Artist description (if has):
“A true documentation of one of my encounters of the “Dick Pic”, He is a menace to society, he needs to be taken down. He lurks in our inboxes, our Airdrop and messengers waiting to pounce. He gets great joy from exposing himself, yet it sickens us profoundly. This is why I took it upon myself to let him know quite rightly too… F**k off”

Rachelle uses embroidery, print and paint to create work that aims to provoke an emotional response from the viewer. In this particular work she references the symbolic meanings linked to flowers to explore ideas around the female experience of sex, sexual liberation and empowerment.
“Flowers are deemed by society to be a feminine object, an object that is delicate – yet their spiritual meanings show strength and power. Those who identify as women have strength, power and voice; we should be heard. The truth of a woman’s experience regarding their sexual encounters and their role in sex differs from their male counterparts. Once they experience their own sexual liberation and empowerment, they develop an understanding of their own body and their power, knowing it’s ok to enjoy the perfectly natural and beautiful act when they consent.”
Flower meanings:
- Dahlias – elegance, inner strength, creativity, change, and dignity. One who stands strong in his/her sacred values.
- Daffodils – rebirth and new beginnings.
- Daisies – innocence and purity.
