Judith Beheading Holofernes
Judith from Sacred Scripture is depicted here not with sword and gore but opening a ketchup bottle. Based on a sexist, vintage ad that read "You mean a woman can open it?" this artwork flips that narrative on its head by recognizing Judith as the only one who can do the job.
