I’m Rooted but Still Flow生育潮汐/2026
Does this remind you of ultrasound images taken when a baby is in mother's womb?
This low pixel video artwork is based on the CT SCAN picture of my mom's uterus which was taken earlier months ago when she did the full body examination.
About eight years ago, she had to have an operation that doctors put a IUD inside her uterus, which caused hers huge and constant pain.
The Earth, Ocean and Tide you can see are all created through multiple times of overlaying and distorting that image, Here, the ocean waves become the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb...
Do you know that as the average length of women's menstrual cycles matches the moon's 29.5-day waxing and waning cycle, many cultures associated the moon with fertility-how amazing is that!
However, somehow the uterus remains being seen as a resource in this patriarchal society, people ignore the pain of giving birth, the pain of the period (even consider the period blood as something dirty and evil) and the pain of having a IUD (intrauterine device) in women's uterus(like my mom).
I wanna worship the power of women's uterus, wanna showcase how wonderful and amazing women are, and also wanna fight back to those who ignore the pain that women are facing, no uterus no opinion.
这是否让你想起了胎儿在母亲子宫内时的超声波图像?
这件低像素的视频艺术作品,源自我母亲数月前做全身检查时拍摄的子宫CT扫描图像。
大约八年前,她曾接受手术,医生将节育环放入她的子宫,导致她长期承受剧烈且持续的疼痛。
你所看到的地球、海洋与潮汐,都是通过多次叠加和变形那张ct图像创作而成的。在这里,海浪化作了母体中的羊水……
你知道吗?女性月经周期的平均长度恰好与月亮29.5天的盈亏周期相吻合,因此许多文化都将月亮与生育联系在一起——这是多么奇妙!
然而,在这个社会,子宫却仍被视为一种资源,人们忽视了分娩的痛苦、经期的痛楚(甚至将经血视为肮脏而邪恶的东西),以及在子宫戴上节育环所带来的痛苦(就像我的母亲面临的那样)。
我想赞美女性子宫的力量,展现女性的非凡与伟大,同时也想反击那些忽视女性所承受痛苦的人——
没有子宫,就没有发言权。
