With women\u2019s rights being fought for more than ever in human history, feminism is no longer a radical stance; it is a global movement, a mentality that Yoko Ono has embodied from the very start. She has made what was once a foreign concept a meaningful and accessible way of perceiving the world by granting her viewers a chance to be participants in her artistic process. As I delved deeper into my research, I was increasingly intrigued by the objectifying quality in Ono\u2019s work and felt it was imperative that I determine the underlying relationship between the female body and the vulnerability that seems to accompany its exposure.<\/p>\n
