Description

In the "Nanas Power" series, **Niki de Saint Phalle** powerfully expresses women's inner awakening and self-discovery.

The Nanas speak as if to say, "You made me discover myself," frankly expressing their emotions and experiences. This signifies the awakening and self-awareness that comes through encounters with others.

The desire depicted here is not merely a physical impulse. It represents the process of learning about a new world, sensory discovery, and opening oneself up.

In "Nanas Power," Niki de Saint Phalle sublimated personal and intimate experiences into positive expressions. Here, the female body is no longer an object of contemplation or decoration, but is depicted as a being that actively lives out her own sensations and experiences.
