Counterbodies 4 is a group exhibition in De Achtertuin in Rotterdam showing works inspired by the human body. In the exhibition the artists explore the beauty, vulnerability, strength and complexity of the human body. Orla Kelly was one of the artists. Her work 'Squeeze' was exhibited. The textile work comes from the series 'As much as I wouldn't like to': a study into the normalization and sexualization of violence against women in media and pop culture, where the dominant aggressive man is romanticized and male sexual desire is given priority .
