“There is something stronger and more intense than in a museum where the works are exhibited and the feeling is that we are visiting the dead. Here, we are not in a cemetery, but in a maternity hospital, and we can imagine all these messy deliveries, never controlled, these sufferings to give to the world what we have in the belly, here, the work is thought, felt, breaks, remakes itself, abandons itself, becomes form. Here is where it comes to life.”
