THE APPLES OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY (2016, 13.2 × 21.5 cm)
This work stages the connotations of oppression and the objectification of women through art, offering a critical reflection on the female nude in the history of art.
Several nude figures appear, each holding an apple —a symbol of the primordial sin historically associated with women. These figures seem to have stepped out of their original artworks, carrying the apple as an emblem of inherited blame.
In doing so, they embody a protest, much like contemporary social movements, calling for change in the gendered vision of art. The work seeks to highlight the necessity of revising and transforming the representation of women, moving beyond objectification toward a new, more equitable perspective.
