In this work the artist turned to the shape and the transformation of the vulva. The lower left painting represents a nude figure with female attributes. The vulva is placed in the anatomally correct position and reveals outer and inner labia. The next painting shows the figure in way of transformation. The vulva changes and gets bigger, the pubic hair is depicted. The vagina seems slightly opened, on its lower end is visible a tuft of pubic hair. In painting three the vagina is longer, the outer labia mark the center of the picture, the vaginal opening is visible. In the painting on the right side a brown color field substitutes the vulva in its natural position reminding the viewer of the genitalia's omission in the greek female large-scale sculptures. Finally the arms of the figure are formed by the transformed vulva wrapped around the shoulders like a stola.
