Don’t Make Me Eat You explores the monstrous feminine across myth and contemporary culture. Drawing from figures like Medusa, Scylla and Chimera, as well as women in power who have been demonised through similar imagery, the series examines how fears of female autonomy continue to shape our stories.
Gestural marks and precise collage elements collide to reveal women who are fierce, complex, and unapologetically untamed. Instead of villains, these so-called monsters emerge as icons of defiance, resilience, and reclaimed power.

'[These female monsters] all spoke to men’s fear of women’s destructive potential. The myths then, to a certain extent, fulfill a male fantasy of conquering and controlling the female.'
