This piece is about women’s reproductive rights. Recently the U.S. government has begun to question the rights that a woman has in relation to her own body. This artwork is inspired by the overall hypocrisy of the U.S. government. Often the attempt to reassure women that it is their body and choice, is overshadowed by states passing laws that chip away at women’s rights. The female figure is missing a uterus in order to represent how much of a woman’s body is actually hers in the eyes of the government. The amount of body she has control over. The tattoos represent the choice she can make about her body and life. She can choose a tattoo but may not have choices about her uterus.
