This series of works feature a highly illustrated young girl who dominates both the space and Madani’s men who occupy it with her. The loosely painted men huddle under the girl’s skirt—looking and crawling towards the light or shadow emanating from underneath it. These men, depicted in a group, attempt to confront or deal with what this girl is exposing between her legs, often with one man guiding the others on their inspection.
Abstract Pussy (2013) and 3D Pussy (2013) mark the initiation of this series. Within Abstract Pussy, one man guides the others on their exploration wielding a Kandinsky-esque abstract painting sign, while 3D Pussy pushes the linear illustrative qualities of the girl one step further. It is here that the girl is structured more as an image through the play on 3D lines and is considerably separated from the men, taking a commanding position in front of them.
