Biological Adaptation [2015] Personal research project speculating a dark and satirical future.
"If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." - Todd Atkin
A visual project exploring a widespread mentality in which rape and sexual violence are accepted as inevitable and 'just a part of life'. The project speculates an obscure future in which the female body is forced to adapt developing natural defence mechanisms to protect them from the 'unfortunate inevitability' that is rape. The critical commentary challenges this passive mentality, exaggerating its consequence to highlight its menace.
