THE project
Fragile Beginnings
A Journey Through Birth and Creation
There are over 40 artworks in 3 parts (conceiving, pregnancy and the first 3 months after giving birth) in the project. "Fragile Beginnings" immerses viewers into the intimate and complex process of human creation. It delves into the profound physical, emotional, and psychological experiences surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. I explore the spectrum of emotions, from the anticipation and fear of pregnancy to the joy and challenges of new life. Here I'm using my personal artifacts such as belly prints, family photographs, and baby-monitor footage. The project blends the personal with the universal, inviting viewers to reflect on the fragility of life.
The contrasting materials emphasize the duality of strength and vulnerability inherent in the process of birth. At its core, this project serves as a reminder of the inestimable value of human life, urging society to reflect on its responsibility to protect and cherish it. Amidst the chaotic forces of politics and war, "Fragile Beginnings" speaks powerfully about the sanctity of life and the deep connection shared between mother and child.

This series will be updated with new works. I plan to finish all parts of the project in early 2025
