The Great Wall of Vagina is an art piece created by British artist Jamie McCartney. The artwork depicts sculptures of 400 different vaginas. It is 9 metres long, distributed across ten large panels, and consists of 400 plaster cuts of vulvas. Included are genitals of mothers and daughters, identical twins, transgendered men and women, pre and post natal, pre and post labiaplasty. McCartney designed this artwork with the hope that it will help combat the rise in cosmetic labial surgeries. In this artwork, something that is usually associated with pornography becomes non-erotic; simply art with a social conscience (Great Wall of Vagina, 2012).
