Body changing series
What is the main idea……I think it’s me.
This question I asked myself two years ago. Me, my body, my needs, my mental health. One of the most popular social and media themes now is body-positive.
I experienced this idea from a different angle. Motherhood gave me a new level of physical suffering. I actually refused my body needs. I refused pain, traumas, personal space. Is fact my body was some kid of a bed for the baby. Recently I understood that I need to find a way to get back to myself. I need a new links between my mind and my body.
I choose a meditative sculpture practice and began to create my new body with children’s wax plasticine. The result was incredible, a combination of meditation and sensational impressions of wax plasticine was very healing. Now I’m creating a series of recently given birth woman called Body changing.
