NIPPLES OF VENUS: AN EXPERIMENTATION WITH CONDOMS

This work came to life when I began wondering the following:

  1. How far can a condom stretch?

  2. What does it look like when it is blown up like a balloon in space and given time?

  3. Would it be able to hold liquids? If so, how much and what kind?

  4. If yes, would it also be able to hold some sort of material, perhaps fabric?

  5. How long would it last within space and time?

  6. Would it look the same, or would it change given time? If so, how?

  7. How would these changes occur?

  8. Would it be visible to the natural eyes?

  9. What would these changes, if any, look like?

  10. What would its very duration be?

  11. Would it experience an end, a death?

  12. If so, what does this end look like?

I continued contemplating and decided that if the answer to all of the questions is yes, then would it be okay to blow it up? Can I insert water to represent the life within us, and can I then also insert a red satin cloth to represent the death of life? Can this sculpture represent the transition of the exit through the wall of the egg cell within a female body? This work uses a masculine symbol to create a reconfiguration of part of an element that only a woman can endure.
