Why is this Art Project so important?

Alongside the steady erosion of hard-earned woman’s rights and the safeguarding of our children - in today’s modern world we are saturated with images of woman as unachievable air brushed realities of how women should be and look. Our girls and young women are socially pressured by the online virtual world that is creating a deeper disassociation with the female body. Many are experiencing the increasing effects of body dysphoria alongside the current trend of gender ideology creating confusion in this vulnerable age group of under 18 years olds. Our youth are saturated by the online virtual world with images of porn, violence towards women, child grooming, men saying they are women and the erosion of single sex spaces – female changing rooms, abuse centres, rape crisis centres, hospital wards, prisons.

Even the language that describes woman, womanhood, mother and motherhood is under threat. If you take away the language that describes woman you take away woman’s rights. She becomes invisible.

Women everywhere can find it hard to accept their body. How it looks. How it changes. Develops. Ages. And what it means to have a female body in our modern day society in a growing world of distortion and denial of woman and womanhood which is becoming increasingly riddled with fear.
