23-летняя художница из Кот-д’Ивуара Летиция Кай создает скульптуры из собственных волос прямо у себя на голове. В своих работах она использует металлическую проволоку, воск и искусственные пряди. На создание одной такой скульптуры уходит от 20 минут до двух часов.

Одним из главных источников вдохновения Летиции является феминизм, поэтому часто она изображает обнаженных женщин, матку или грудь. В 2017 году художница создала работу против сексуальных домогательств: скульптура представляет собой мужчину, заглядывающего под юбку женщине. А летом 2019-го, протестуя против законопроекта о запрете абортов в США, Летиция изобразила матку, показывающую средний палец.

Dear uterus, do you have something to say to all theses people that want to control you and decide for you ??? Uterus: F.U.C.K Y.A.L.L. The biggest group of people that follow me are american women so it was important for me to do something to show my support in the battle they are right now… if you dont know some states there, restrict the abortion law and i can feel the pain… in my own country we never had the right to do freely abortion… because of that, a lot of young women die everyday when they try to illegaly get rid of their pregnancy… because its illegal, they dont have access to safe way to do it and use sometime extremely dangerous things and ways to abort. Some women here are in the fight to have that right too… so i cant imagine after all the battle, have it, and dont have it after because some men will decide what we should do with our bodies. What happen in america is a lesson for all women around the word… our rights are never acquired. So after the fight to have them, we have to continue to fight to keep them…. a lack of vigilance and everything is taken back from us… this is sad but we all have to keep fighting… Abortion right is a woman right. OUR UTERUS OUR RULES. OUR BODIES OUR RULES. Stay strong. #abortion #womenrights #uterus #art #speak #battle

My collaboration with @infinix_ci for their last phone the hot8 with their slogan “plus grand, plus puissant” (bigger, more powerful) made me want to create this image and share with you my little sport journey ! I am very far from being a fit girl. I do only 1 hour and 30 min of sports per week. but what I am most proud of is that since the beginning of this year for the first time in my life, I have remained constant with the decision I made to do some sport … Well before, I decided to workout and I always gave up shortly after. Seeing my mom suffer from diabetes has made me realize how important it is to live as healthy as possible. Eating well and workout have greatly improved my daily life in many ways. Physically but also mentally … I have more strength, more vitality and energy, I manage better my anxiety and i have more discipline. I am aware that it is really delicate to promote “healthy eating” and “workout”. Some people perceives it as a way to accentuate the insucurities that some already have. I can understand this point of view. I know what it’s like to be insecure. But know that the intention behind this type of promotion can be positive. Health is the most precious thing we have. We tend to take it for granted. We adopt sometime long-term habits that can be harmful. It’s not about eating only vegetables, counting calories, have a lot of restrictions and spending 3 hours a day in the gym. NO. Let’s just avoid the excesses and lets move as much as possible to keep our heart and body in good health. But above all, always, do it all with pleasure and deep self love, no matter what our goal is. ?. #strenght #healthy #jesuishot8 #workout
