GAG ME

GAG ME is a piece from Louise Hapton's series "Things I Wish I Could Say I Like."
 
“Things I Wish I Could Say I Like” is a ceramic exploration of intimacy, repression, and the fragility of taboo. Through evocative sculptures—sex toys disguised as everyday objects, vases sprouting tongues, and familiar forms transformed into sites of pleasure—the series exposes how individuals, especially women, are conditioned to conceal their desires to conform to societal expectations. By blurring the boundaries between function and eroticism, the work challenges how we perceive the world as adults, revealing the tension between what we desire and what we are allowed to express.
