Blood in Bodies of Water | Ceramic Objects | various sizes | 2024

We are all bodies of water. Blood in bodies of water symbolizes women, their menstruation, and the ability to conceive life, reflecting on ideas of womanhood and the nurturing nature of motherhood. These bodies of water play a crucial role in sustaining life's cycles. However, women's bodily agency and reproductive rights are often disregarded under the guise of morals and saving lives, leading to their inability to freely enjoy their lives.
The collection of ceramic forms represents this inaccessibility, closed and devoid of life. "Blood in Bodies of Water" connotes vulnerability to predation and the imminent danger of attack, highlighting the void, challenges, and frailty women face in society.
