In terms of sexuality and the media, the painting tries to highlight the fact that a woman\u2019s vagina is used as a form of entertainment, and this same entertaining \u2018content\u2019 is being consumed and accepted by the woman. Which is the confusing reality of our media.<\/p>\n<p>She is in the nude,depicting her natural form, but this nudity is not meant to titillate, it is meant to highlight the difference between the sexualized images of ourselves as opposed to our natural form. On the upper left corner the figure in the yellow bubble highlights the higher self witnessing this woman\u2019s activities. And the egg on the top signifies, birth, or rebirth of ideas and thought. The background has circles that look like bubbles to signify the bubbles we live in, in order to go about our daily lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The painting depicts a woman with a television set in place of her reproductive organs who is also&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":14431,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,297,7],"tags":[26,103,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-4126","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brushstrokes","8":"category-popular-media-and-sexuality","9":"category-visualcorner","10":"tag-gender","11":"tag-media","12":"tag-sex"},"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4126"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4241,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4126\/revisions\/4241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarshi.net\/inplainspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
