Oocitos Orb

"Oocitos Orb" is a blue toned mixed media 4x5 in camera paper negative printed on silver gelatin. Afterwards, I used red oil pastels to paint a red orb over the image. The mixed media process has helped me express my ideas about female fertilization of oocytes and bodily autonomy. My work contemplates the complexities of being a women by using color and texture, drawing attention within the photograph to psychologically reference the strength of being a women.
