To change the standards by which we are judged in the context in which they exist and overturn thousands of years of conditioning and blind acceptance into a revolution, you must recognize the need to take an active role in your own existence. You must recognize the power that comes from making a conscious decision, rather than accepting the conditions of a system that may not serve your needs. The centipede and the 9mm gun prints became a more militant approach to exploring the active role of feminism and empowerment. Our society was achieved through war. Revolution involves a battle.
Weapons are a symbol of empowerment of strength and also of violence.
The 9mm gun print was about arming oneself for a revolution. The guns are a symbol for the tools you use to win your battle, they are a sign that you are prepared to defend yourself. The centipede became a symbol for the female army in the comic book I was developing. The basis of the comic book was that 100 years after women were given the right to vote in 1919, there would be an uprising and a revolution with a female army to introduce a matriarchal society. I don't want to confuse the comic book with the true definition of feminism, which is equal political, economic and social rights for both sexes under the law.
