Title: "Pregnant Women #8"
Size: 3 3/4"x 1 1/4"x1/2"
Statement:
"Death"
Quite a while I was haunted by the feeling of death. It was a
great torture to me. I felt that my life is just a part of death.
In my extreme despair, I was experiencing tremendous fear of
death and already suffering the pangs of death.
"Birth"
I see the female body as a container of the womb and a source
of energy. After becoming pregnant, I was amazed by the life
and stirring in my body. It filled me with anticipation and endless
delight. During my pregnancy, I realized for the first time that
I was continuing life for the next generation.
