PARTO

In Parto, I create an allegory that explores the process of questioning, shedding, and liberating oneself from the societal ideologies surrounding motherhood to pave the way for alternative perspectives. This concept is materialized through the construction of a symbolic and immersive corridor that gradually narrows, leading to “the other side.” It reflects three stages marked by sexual desire, the yearning for motherhood, and the pursuit of freedom, covering the age range of 35 to 46. This installation delves into topics that are increasingly prominent in social and feminist discourse, resonating with many women of my generation. These issues are recontextualized within a historical moment undergoing a paradigm shift regarding perceptions of motherhood and fertility. The work acknowledges the widespread decline in the willingness to commit, influenced by growing individualism, coupled with the challenges posed by neoliberalism and the absence of supportive policies for work-life balance.
