The similarities between the shape of a woman’s breast and the architecture of the Buddhist stupa is highlighted in this ongoing body of work. These works emphasize the way the bosom and Buddhism, in their own ways, provide comfort and (spiritual) soothing. Her work addresses motherhood, womanhood, and self by using the shape of breast to provoke the symbol of feminism and femininity.
