Hymen – Ivan Lam

In Ivan Lam’s latest work, he focuses on the sexual politics attached to the female body. From the onset of menses, loss of virginity, childbirth, and finally menopause, blood appears and disappears to signal different stages of womanhood, the centrality of blood as a symbol of a woman’s life cycle is undeniable in Lam’s work. Across the twenty visually arresting images on display, each speaks of a different stage in the journey of womanhood, and will very possibly, conjure up a different memory.
