The life-sized textile sculpture is a compelling representation of a body that both commands and occupies a significant amount of space. Through the utilization of textiles and prominently visible seams, a sense of intimacy and familiarity is established. The artwork delves into the postnatal body, portraying it as accessible, vulnerable, yet also resilient and robust. It offers an alternative to the often-promoted "After-Pregnancy-Body" in the media, serving as a manifestation of resistance against societal expectations imposed on the female body.
The work was exhibited as part of the "Myths of Mothers and Other Monsters" exhibition at L6 Kunsthaus Freiburg. The exhibition evolved from a longstanding collaboration with the M.A.R.S. collective (Maternal Artistic Research Studio). It was conceptualized by M.A.R.S. and brought to fruition in collaboration with curators Hanna Weber and Sascia Bailer.
