This black-and-white woodcut series reimagines the **linga**—a symbol of creation, erotic charge, and divine potency—through a contemporary feminist lens. Each phallus becomes a site of transformation, no longer confined to its traditional reading but expanded into a landscape of gaze, desire, and metaphor. The forms shift between human, animal, and mythical, adorned with watching eyes, shifting bodies, and spirit-like presences. These details turn the linga into more than an object; it becomes a character—alive, aware, sometimes vulnerable, sometimes confrontational. The eyes insist on mutual gaze, reversing the historic dynamic of who looks and who is looked at. The stark black-and-white palette amplifies the rawness of the woodcut medium—its cuts, textures, and rugged edges mirroring the primal force of the subject itself. Through repetition and variation, the series meditates on desire as multiplicity: sacred and profane, erotic and symbolic, humorous and unsettling. In this series, the linga is reclaimed, questioned, celebrated, and fractured. It becomes a place where myths collide with the body, where devotion meets desire, and where the viewer is invited into an uncomfortable—and intimate—conversation about power, gaze, and sexuality.
