NY-ban élő mexikói művész. A forrásért katt ide – itt több, nők nőkről tematikájú műalkotás érhető el, például iráni művészek munkái is.

A művésznő olyan nők nemiszerveinek képeivel montírozta össze a pillangók képeit, akik ugyanabból az övezetből valók, mint maguk a pillangók is. A site-on, ahonnan a képek is valók ez áll:

The artist juxtaposes women and butterflies as being objects of desire, raising questions regarding the representation of the female body, sexuality and identity. Ms. Harrsch believes that a woman’s search for her own desire as well as being desired is essential to the construction of her identity and the development of personality and psyche. In ancient Greek, “Psyche” meant butterfly as well as soul and mind – this body of work, no doubt, captures all three.

In many cases, the photographed women have suffered from sexual abuse, violence and humiliation – resulting in experiencing their vagina as a constant source of physical and mental pain. Consequently, the women’s genitals created their own wounded identity. In this project, the artist has successfully reconstructed their identity and provided these women a new “self-portrait” – one that is a source of healing, pride and a positive, beautiful perception of themselves.
