The pelvis is associated with childbirth and child-rearing. This piece is a meditation on domesticity, femininity, and female gender roles.

I have never been a very feminine person. I’m a terrible homemaker and I never really dreamed of marriage or children. Femininity and gender roles have little to do with one’s ability to maintain a home. What matters is the love, attention, and genuine effort that a person puts into their surroundings.
