The installation It’s a girl! is a stark and sorrowful critique of the misogyny and systemic violence
that women and girls are born into across the world.

It is a father’s lament, a desperate articulation
of the hostile environment my own daughters, and all girls, inherit from the moment of their birth.

The traditional congratulatory card, so full of pink, hope, and societal celebration, is placed next to a
pink-coated infant skull—a morbid memento mori—to violently juxtapose promise against peril.

The fluttering of the pink feathers represents the fleeting fragility of innocence and life in the face of
relentless, gendered violence.

This work is a refusal to normalize the relentless tide of femicide and oppression.
The pink coating is an attempt to reclaim a colour that is weaponized against women from birth, demanding that we see the brutal reality hidden beneath the saccharine façade of gender stereotypes…..’

Many thanks to Martin for the work & the install 💓
