“Is Soft to the Touch” is an idea and a wish of creating a platform, which ties together experiences of women from around the world, through stories they choose to share with us. The point at which all the stories meet is our most intimate organ, the vagina, an organ whose experiences are too often bound with shame, abuse and trauma. But also, with pleasure, self-knowledge and ultimately, freedom.
This project aims to liberate female erotic truth from the usual labels of ‘porn,’ ‘art’, ‘sexual fantasy’ and ‘sexual experience.’ Contrary to the male gaze which is definite, linear: our (female) gaze can contain it all (traumas, desires, the past, the present)- just as our bodies do. “Is Soft to the Touch” is currently developed as a website, text, and animation short film.
These are the first drawings created for the project.
