Limited edition print on archival quality paper.

"Fear of the Yakshi" is a piece that addresses the taboo, suppression, and demonization of female sexuality in contemporary South Asian culture. Female eroticism takes the form of the ancient South Asian icon of the Yakshi, a divine nature spirit that was worshipped by the indigenous peoples of the land for her powers of fertility and sensuality.

Where it's been: This illustration was exhibited at OCAD University's annual GradEx (GradEx 106, 2021) and Fort York National Historic Site (2021).
