Artist's Comments

ok, something serious this time.

few years ago, I saw on World Press Photo exhibition a photo story about women's circumision ceremony in some African village. The "victim" was a very young, teenage girl. Circumision ritual was made by older women, who used old razor. After the circumision, they desinfected bleeding girl with goat's milk. On the last pic, that girl was sitting and crying... I was and I am still shocked with it.

"Circumcision by *Miss-Freak-of-Nature really struck me and disturbed me at the same time when I first saw it. The controversial and undoubtedly upsetting topic it depicts, is one that I would imagine to be difficult to portray. However this artist has successfully portrayed it and they've created an image that has an in your face kind of impact." (Suggested by ^PorcelainPoet and Featured by `FaMz)

I really like this photo, you have expressed your feeling towards this topic and it comes across very well.

btw the word "thrilled" generally means excited in a good way(happy), heard you use it a few times and thought i should let u know. Was really confused when i saw that word in the description as it doesn't go well with this photo.

I saw a program about that once. It has to be one of the grossest invasion of a womans personal rights (bar rape). I know I should be sensitive about what I say due to cultural differences, but this is just wrong.

Great photo.
