The 28-year-old illustrator was initially apprehensive about putting out her work, but eventually decided otherwise. "Some men treat Instagram like Tinder and send me messages, which I never read. Some men also ask me why I don't draw penises. I don't, because it's not the penis but the vagina that needs to be talked about," says Bose. The Delhi girl who has worked as a gender and sexuality trainer quit her job two years ago to pursue art full time. She uses ink on paper, and 3D mediums to draw vaginas, and says that most times drawing the vagina is all about the mood she is in. "Many women say they relate to my work, and many still say they don't want to get up and see a vagina on their Instagram. I am happy they are disgusted, because it prompts discussion, and that's what all this is about."
