A pair of knickers and matching bra have been created which seem to slightly take away the point of underwear.
Detailing
the anatomy of the female reproductive system and the breasts, the pant
and bra set is similar to the more simple ‘nipple bikini’ which hit
headlines recently.
Part of
the ‘Free the Nipple’ movement which aims to end the stigma surrounding
female bodies, the bikini caused a stir as celebrities like Cara
Delevingne shared pictures of it online.Continue....
The bra and pants make up Eleanor Haswell's piece 'Why are you so afraid of your anatomy?'
The pants detail the female reproductive organs including the ovaries, vagina and uterus
However the 'Why are you so afraid of
your own anatomy?' pieces go a step further by showing all parts
considered ‘taboo’ about the female form.
The work of young artist Eleanor Beth Haswell, 18, from County Durham, the vagina pants and bra are part of her growing portfolio of art inspired by gender inequalities.
One
set of pictures, entitled 'Prick', shows a woman with thorns instead of
underarm hair, aiming to highlight upon the constant narrow-minded
views that it is somehow an abnormal occurrence for a woman to have body
hair.
Speaking to MailOnline Eleanor says: ‘The main influence for me for this piece is the divide that's been made between genders.
'I began to notice a lot more shaming
online, the amount of negative comments gathered online is incredible.
It's often that you hear the typical slut-shaming comments about girls
who choose to do what they want with their own bodies.
Another set of pictures by Eleanor entitled 'Prick', shows a woman with thorns instead of underarm hair,
Model Cara Delevingne posted a second picture of
a topless couple standing next to each other denoting the anatomical
similarities between the male and female nipple to her six million
followers
The model also posted this image of a woman in a
flesh coloured bikini top complete with realistic nipples in support of
the Free the Nipple campaign
'This piece isn't being
gender specific suggesting that only women have this particular anatomy,
but it is to highlight upon the major difference in our society. It's
to question those who think it's acceptable to shame one gender over
another - who decides whose nipples are accepted for the world to see.
'There
always comments being made about women who have body hair, who have
cellulite, anything that doesn't live up to the standards set by
society.
'This is
pushed on to us from an early age, the amount of comments made about
women who have chosen to have body hair disgusts me. It is one of the
most natural things, everyone has it yet it is constantly frowned upon.
'It's
the 21st century and women are still constantly feeling pressured to
live up to these expectations of what is attractive, and it shouldn't
have to be that way; it's all down to personal choice.'
