In the Forbidden Fruit project, I want to discuss and raise issues related to femininity, being a woman, gender roles, equality, sexuality and bodily self-determination. The series consists of a series of vulvae made of different fruits, vegetables and greens, reflecting on the one hand the diversity of femininity and our sexuality and, on the other hand, bringing to light the issues that we are used to keeping hidden and silenced. Women's sexuality and genitalia have long been hidden, associated with shame and a taste of forbidden fruit.
