FLOWER OF LIFE — the largest, most intimate portrait of a vagina ever exhibited.

During this years Art Basel Miami week the husband & wife artist-activist duo known as DOUBLE BEING presented the world premiere of ‘Flower of Life’, the largest, most intimate portrait of a vagina ever exhibited. Immediately upon entering the fair, one encountered the artwork in its full glory. At almost 7 feet high, hugged in a carved wooden baroque frame, ‘Flower of Life’ resembles more a classical painting than a photograph. Literally everyone who encountered the work was struck by a deep recognition — whether one rolled the eyes, giggled, screamed or cried, no one passed by without showing raw emotion on their faces.

The buzz about the big vagina spread quickly and everyone who arrived at the fair was looking for the infamous ‘Flower of Life’. Thousands of selfies were taken with the artwork over the course of the week. However only a few hours after the opening, the gallery had been informed about multiple people posting their selfie on Instagram and it being removed within minutes.There were also multiple reports of accounts being banned for sharing an image of the artwork. Even though according to Instagram’s community guidelines, nudity in artwork is allowed, the platform still banned the image. If it wasn’t for the flawed algorithm, ’Flower of Life’ would have been the one and only viral artwork during Art Basel 2023.
