There is too little education and discussion about female genital mutilation, as this topic is still considered taboo today. That is why Maxime Theis and I designed, printed, and bound Charlotte Proudman's essay in the form of a book. We chose red as the main color because it represents the blood, anger, and suffering that women have endured and continue to endure. We cut into the chapter headings and the title page to emphasize the process of cutting. We also chose the element of the razor blade, as it is a commonly used tool in mutilation. Throughout the book, we highlighted individual quotes that are intended to shed light on crucial and potentially shocking statements.
