Stone Orgasms
Collage on paper
The artwork depicts fictional women that have had their clitoris and external genitalia removed. Keyezua visually explores the ritual of mutilation of women, exploring its affects on body and self. The cruel manipulation of the body is resembled in the portrait collages. Body parts are turned into self-destructive stone, mirroring the lack of feeling or capacity to enjoy sexuality.
The artwork draws attention to the fact that more than 125 million girls and women worldwide suffer from the religious practice and are damned to live with the physical and emotional scars for the rest of their lives.
