KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER

This is not a sculpture about sexuality.

It is a monument against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and against every form of violence through which the female body is controlled, violated, or claimed as property.

The monumental silicone vulva is crossed with red-and-white warning tape reading:

FRAGILE – HANDLE WITH CARE

A label normally reserved for delicate objects becomes, here, a moral imperative.

Handle her with care.

Not only this artwork.

But every girl.

Every woman.

More than 240 million women and girls around the world are living with the consequences of Female Genital Mutilation. Behind every number is a human being, a body, and a life permanently changed.

This sculpture does not depict explicit violence.

Its power lies precisely in what is absent.

It confronts us with what is truly at stake: bodily autonomy.

The female body is presented neither as an erotic object nor as an aesthetic ideal, but as the bearer of fundamental human rights.

The warning tape does more than protect the artwork.

It accuses a world in which the bodily integrity of women and girls is still not universally respected.

Keep Your Hands Off Her does not document violence.

It does not glorify suffering.

It demands respect.

It is not an object created merely to be viewed.

It is a sculptural manifesto that asks every viewer to take a position.

Because a body is not tradition.

Not honour.

Not property.

Every body deserves protection. Every girl deserves a future.
