The series is aptly named after the physical and mental turbulence and transformations that accompany womanhood and maternity. The pieces are made of white concrete. According to the artist, the material symbolises the sanctity and mystique of the subject, as well as its ordinariness and naturalness. The titles of the studies are: 1. Virginity 2. Pregnancy 3. What Now 4. Exhaustion 5. Womanhood or New Balance The works don’t belong to the collections of the Helsinki Art Museum. Read more.. At map
