On house walls, toilets, and streets - everywhere we encounter “penis pictures”. Seen a thousand times, yet hardly noticed. But why don’t more women paint pictures of their vulvas or breasts on walls and sidewalks? Maybe they should. The color is clear immediately: It has got to be pink. The intense beauty of the magnolia and its rich colors provide a guiding line right from the start. But the joy of one’s own body is also inscribed in the shapes. A butt- and several breast prints are left on the canvas: my apple and my peaches. A humorous response to the penises on the walls, which is also reflected in the accompanying text: “Do you think zucchini and cucumber make the world go round.”
