Let’s see if this stays up this time. ‘Magnolia’ from my new series ‘Petal’. ‘Petal’ is a photographic series by @bex_day created in celebration of the uniqueness of the vagina. Each vulva pictured in the collection is covered by a single flower petal to reflect their shared qualities and to disintegrate the taboo that envelops it. It’s a mystery why colloquial terms for the vagina, including ‘pussy’, ‘cunt’ and ‘gash’, have all been adopted as negatives in the English language; being used as insults or curses - the word vagina itself still evokes squeamishness amongst many, which in itself highlights the need for a change of perspective. Young children, especially people who are socialised and raised as females, are brought up to name their private parts ‘flower’ and ‘foo-foo’ amongst other diminutive names. This foundation has created a public misconception of what is considered a ‘normal’ vagina; this is partially due to type-casting in porn and portrayals in mainstream media, but also cultural censorship. The shape, colour and size of each petal is decided on by each individual featured in advance, to represent how they see their own vagina. The series aims to unify female, non-binary and female-identifying individuals by showing the similarities of their vaginas rather than focusing on what is considered different. Through varying ages, races, genders, hair types, sizes and shapes, the series is a captivating and colourful compilation with each image being accompanied by a message written by the subject about their own feelings and experiences of their bodies. #petal #race #identity #gender #empowerment #flower #body #femalebody #feminism #typecasting #age #ageism #selfie #selfies #colourphotography #instagood #instadaily #nude #censorship #film #120mm #life #female #beautiful #love #instagram #toptags #portrait #people #bexday
