This artist has sewn catcalls she has received into framed pictures.
Elena Adler is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She's created "You Are My Duchess" - a series of embroidered catcalls.
In her art, the traditionally feminine form of embroidery masks the ugly sentiments within.
Adler explains: "You read one sampler. Perhaps you are amused, but as you continue reading and consider the body as an entire collection, the response changes."
Then, the "filth emerges. It is a beautification of an assault."
"They reduce the complex emotional experience of being heckled by catcalls to a simple piece of women's work."
