I wish men understood that when women are talking about feminism and rape culture and shit, it's not just a political conversation. It's not about being a "social justice warrior" or whatever. It's about our actual lives being shaped by misogyny since childhood, and the daily reality of living in fear of violence. This isn't a fucking game or philosophical debate. This is our fucking lives.
A colored ink on watercolor paper painting for my solo exhibition in the fall of 2023. I wanted to depict a variety of emotions and feelings in the pieces I made for this show. Lohtu is Finnish and means ‘solace’.
