About the Painting

Cubism in the style of Picasso. Acrylic on paper. I was boiling some eggs and was admiring the blue gas flames when I was triggered by the memory of this mundane task that I had to do for most of my adulthood. Every Thursday morning the Shabbat cooking began with a pot of boiled eggs. The figure is refusing to make eye contact with the task, and is visibly sucking in their physique, shrinking into nothing but its objectification. Gender motivated violence is represented by the refusal to play the role of an assigned body type, while unable to hide it or go away. The abdomen symbolizes an unsafe space to confront each week.
