.

This work was conceived at a time when the artist was experiencing the pressure of becoming a mother. As an act of protest, she collected and washed her used tampons from June 2010 to February 2011. The harvest of 149 cotton sculptures materializes her reflection on a woman's choice and freedom to develop herself in other ways than through motherhood.
