Lorena's Garden No. 4

$150.00

This still life presents an Upright Prairie Flower, a phallic flower standing upright in a womb-like receptacle, creating a provocative exploration of gender dynamics. With the expansion of “alpha” and “toxic masculinity” cultures, the desire to cede vulnerability to only one gender goes against what is biologically consistent across so many other species. The composition invites reflection on the potential power imbalances and underlying violence that can exist in intimate relationships, expressed through the tension between the elements. By using subtle botanical symbolism, the artwork challenges viewers to consider how societal constructs of masculinity and femininity impact connection and vulnerability.
