'Handle with Care' (below) was my piece for the final major project.
Women’s
bodies and chrysalises go through irreversible changes during a
child’s and butterfly’s development and birth. The Chrysalis is
left as an empty shell when the butterfly has formed and flown away.
The woman’s body is also a changed vessel, although it regenerates
and reknits. ‘Handle with care’ is an instruction to the viewer
and but it is also an invitation to consider the perception of women
and their integral role in containing and creating new life.
