The path to parenthood for queer couples is not straightforward, but the artist is fortunate to live in one of the few countries where it is possible. As a lesbian couple, the journey to becoming parents is vastly different, involving careful planning, rationalisation, and preemptive anxiety in a world that largely caters to heteronormative ideals. The artwork takes a humorous approach to reflect the complex and arduous journey specific to same-sex couples. It captures the overwhelming psychosomatic experience of IVF while also celebrating the incredible potential of the female body.
