A grown woman is depicted within the womb, suspended in the moment of being born.
The work reflects on the idea of beginning again, with the awareness lived experience brings. The body carries memory, history and experience, yet is placed back into a space of origin.
The womb becomes both a site of protection and tension, holding the possibility of transformation. This piece considers rebirth not as a clean start, but as a conscious return to the self.
