GARDEN OF LIFE
2022

glossy paper, assembled on wood board

With my own health conditions, I am fascinated by the womb, for it is so powerful that it fosters life, so powerful that pain comes with it. I created this collage to celebrate the complex beauty of the womb. Stirred by James Jean’s organ drawings, I designed my own based on my bicornuate uterus. Influenced by the works of Ebony G. Patterson, I employed numerous elements to suggest the dual nature of the womb. Flowers and fruits portray its beauty. Butterflies and birds convey the uterus’ ability to produce new life. Branches grow out of the womb, symbolizing its vitality. In contrast, snakes crawl on the flowers. Red vines fall from beneath, suggesting the pain that comes with menstruation and childbirth.
