Vangelic: Photography
Artist Statement
Growing up in a world with ideas of male and female, and things associated with each sex rather than both, I have wondered for a long time why things are this way. I find myself studying for further connections of what each sex is supposed to be. As a female who doesn’t necessarily identify with feminine things, I’ve always pondered the idea of a young woman “blossoming” into adulthood, and why we compare a woman to a flower. With this series, I went looking for a physical connection rather than a verbal representation, and set out on a mission to see if flowers had a visual quality relating to the female sex organ.
