I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.
Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman.
And the look in her eyes. Damn.
I originally saw photos of Garbati’s Medusa a long time ago, but I specifically remember this post from earlier this year. Medusa was one of those pieces that really buried into my head and heart. Sounds silly, but just looking at it gives me strength.
Today I was lucky enough to see it in person. She’s incredible. And, something that the original pictures don’t show— she’s HUGE!
me after accidentally making eye contact with the pretty girl on the public transport so now she thinks i was staring at her this whole time when i’ve actually been trying to avoid looking in her direction the entire journey so she won’t be creeped out but now i’ve gone and blown my cover so she thinks i’m some kind of freak and probably knows i’m gay
