The heart, the uterus, and the brain. Where does my value lie? All three pieces were created on a base of collaged scraps of articles talking about depression and anxiety, assault, purity culture, and PCP’s along with acrylic paint and gesso.

Is our worth in our society based on our ability or desire to produce children? How well do we bear heartbreak and mistreatment? How well do we contort ourselves into somebody else’s expectations and judgments?
