In an ongoing series, "Eros", Yann paints disfigured bodies based off of collages she makes. These collages are made from cut outs of pornographic magazines and informative books about sex. By cutting up the images and placing them together in a non-conformal way, she is trying to reinforce the idea that the current view about intimacy and sex is misconstrued, mostly because of the constant stream of sexual images we receive. Pornography has seeped mindlessly into everyday society, through (social) media and advertisements. By rethinking the images, painting them and shaping a different, more concealed reality on the canvas, she is trying to regain a new form of intimacy, different from the directness of the original pictures.
