This sculpture, carved from raw granite, features a single, intimate intervention: a delicately sculpted vaginal form emerging from the otherwise unworked stone. The minimal act of carving becomes a quiet yet forceful assertion of presence. Created during a period of workplace harassment, the work speaks to the pervasive violence women endure—particularly in Puerto Rico—both publicly and privately. Kunst confronts this reality not with spectacle, but with defiant restraint: to carve is to claim, to endure is to resist, and to name the body is to refuse its erasure.
