Object Library. Coco de mer.


This Image was created by JCB.
The concept is described as:-
"The largest of seeds also evokes woman, both painfully
constrained and damaged.

Seed: food, survival, genetic manipulation, pesticides, taken into
ownership of global business, poverty and ruin of small farmers,
hunger, suicide epidemic of small scale Indian cotton growers,
wholesale destruction of botanical resources.

Woman: denial of education and human rights, trafficked, honour
killings, rape as deliberate part of military strategy, in modern
conflict more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier."
