"Unprotected Sex"




This piece is titled "Pi-Chacan". It means to make love in Peruvian-Indian. The artist is Fernando de la Jara.  While the exchange student did not  die, I really wanted this piece of art to be in the conversation. I found it very interesting that he was put in a position of danger from a vagina. We battle with this concept in America and in other nations and throughout different religions ; the fall of man is because of a vagina.  With a little bit of research, I came  across the fact that he just wanted to take a funny photo with his friends.  This situation says so much about sex, virginity, the identity of man and woman, and a mockery of what it means to be a woman.  It is also an interesting photo to see a group of men trying to help a man get out of a vagina.  In this particular case, I do not find that it is the artist responsibility to make sure people are safe when he chose the climb inside of it. You could possibly say the same about sex but then again you can't. It is our responsibility to discuss sexual history or two especially practice safe sex. This  peace could toy with the idea of safe sex.
