The Fertility/Infertility box was the very first Artist’s Book container that I made, right around the time when I was ready to start a family. The doll shape background is slightly curved to accommodate a growing belly with new life, as well as storage for dreams and desires. This work aims to speak on a woman’s right to choose, as women are empowered by the ability to decide their future, between conception and contraception.
