Danica Lundy uses X-ray vision to depict biopolitical violence against the female body: in Yank from 2024, the inside of a woman's body merges with the surrounding space and doctors removing an intrauterine device from the uterus. Lundy is alluding to a 2022 US Supreme Court ruling that led to restrictive abortion laws in many states. By blending the outside and the inside, Lundy achieves a shift in perspective that allows her, as an artist, to regain control over what is depicted.
