|
| Flayed (again) is about the flaying of our mothers, sisters, aunties, daughters, lovers, friends, teachers... our soil, our beds and our stories. The term flayed refers to numerous violations of both humans and animals. It refers to physical violence (whipping and beating) as well as severe, harsh & unfair criticism. It also has its roots in the deceitful and intimidating taking of a person's money or valuables. More commonly, it refers to the removal of skin or an outer covering.
