This piece is an expression of daily frustration felt as a female-identifying person in today's sociopolitical climate, the feeling of lawmakers making decisions about your body, having reproductive rights and access to essential medical care stripped away, and turning the clocks back several decades in the fight for equal footing. Three-dimensional egg shapes display variations on common idioms related to eggs, another precious commodity in scarce supply at the moment. A segmented illustration of a woman's body is obscured in the background, with found watch parts filling an egg carton at the bottom.
