Kiss Me is the catalyst for the Women & Agency collection. This piece centers on women reclaiming ownership over their bodies, desires, and autonomy in a world that has historically sought to control them. Whether in private spaces or public ones—bedrooms, billboards, or beyond—women’s bodies have long been shaped by external authority rather than self-determination.
 
Inspired by those who have resisted oppression and demanded agency, Kiss Me stands as an act of refusal and reclamation. It encourages viewers to confront narratives of control, to recognize inherent worth, and to honor personal desire as a form of power. In asserting agency over the body, this work affirms autonomy not as permission granted, but as a right inherently held.
