Don’t worry—it’s not their blood. 

Biter looks at the roots of misandry — not as simple hatred, but as defense, as survival. In a culture where women’s bodies are consumed, judged, and violated, the act of biting back becomes an inheritance. The mouth that was silenced is now a weapon.

Here, the cosmetic gloss of lipstick collides with the raw truth of blood. The work asks: what does it mean when protection must take the form of aggression? When beauty itself becomes a weapon?

This is not misandry as caricature but as consequence — the sharp edge that forms when tolerance has been exhausted, when silence has broken, when the body itself insists on biting back.
