This Body Is Not a Game

Referencing the visual language of a children’s board game, This Body Is Not a Game confronts the way women’s bodies are treated as objects to be handled, corrected, or controlled. By borrowing from a playful and innocent format, the work exposes the disturbing contrast between entertainment and bodily autonomy.

The figure becomes a site of intervention, echoing how society often approaches women’s bodies as problems to be fixed rather than lives to be respected. The act of “playing” transforms into an act of violation, revealing how control is disguised as care, curiosity, or authority.

At its core, the piece is a statement of bodily autonomy. A woman’s body is her own — her choices, her limits, and her agency cannot be negotiated, corrected, or claimed by others. This Body Is Not a Game rejects control and asserts consent as non-negotiable.
