Color pencil and ink chart the body's most vulnerable anatomy—fabric pulled away to reveal what's typically hidden, framed and centered like a specimen under examination. This explores how the female body becomes a site of control, its parts labeled, regulated, and defined by external forces rather than by the self. The clinical precision of the rendering confronts the viewer with anatomy that's been mapped by medical institutions, patriarchal systems, and social expectation. This reclaims the body as territory to be known and defined on one's own terms, asserting ownership over flesh that others have presumed to govern.
