This piece is an adaptation of Gustave Courbet’s 1866 painting, L’Origine du monde (The origin of the world). Where Courbet’s work can be seen as a celebration of the feminine, the mother, the creator - my interpretation flips that ideal on it’s head, focusing instead on the ‘bad mother’ archetype, exploring the ways unhealed trauma is passed down through toxic generational cycles.
