A’gave You
"A’gave You" is the title of a painting by Wangechi Mutu. Does this title mean "you as (in the form of) agave plant". It seems to imply "I gave you" too. Am I right?
Here is the painting: http://www.urchinmovement.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/agaveyou1.jpg

Hmmm, it's likely especially because it's an ambiguous modern art piece. The following website describes the painting
as follows :
"A blue, thick-rooted, and out-sized version of the New World monocot bends to a violated female pseudo-cyborg. Her eyes, cheap black speckled pearls, are replicated in the plant's ovary. The kneeling figure's torso, head, and left arm are thrown back in disinterested submission; her right arm is lost to perspective and/or trauma. Gold sparkle and blood explodes from her chest as she births, or pisses, a long, fat strand of bright yellow-orange which forms a new root-system beneath both her and the plant."

Of course, "agave" is a type of a desert plant, also known as a "monocot" mentioned in the quote above. But artists are normally never so straightforward. It seems to describe a sexual assault as well, and it might be a play on the words, "I gave you".
