Within her abdomen is actually our solar system. Beyond that is the universe portayed as a mother whom is menstrating exaggerantly including the fact that she has bloody mammary glands at her breasts. Most of the time people use blood in their artwork to demonstrate war, violence, anarchy, pain, sorrow and so forth. But in my case, I decided to show blood as a symbolic vitality to the overwhelming importance of nature. As if it is constantly reproducing like a creator. That's the story of this piece, otherwise tell and share what you feel or think. I am dying to know!
