Motherhood — Nourishment (汁) unfolds through a slow sequence of material events. Breast milk and sewing needles are frozen together into a block of ice and placed inside a latex container. As the ice melts, the needles gradually press against and pierce the latex membrane, allowing the milk to fall, drop by drop, onto a bed of salt below.

In this work, nourishment is inseparable from pain. The milk sustains, yet the needles embedded within it transform the act of giving into a process of puncture and rupture. Care appears here not as a symbolic gesture, but as a bodily condition in which tenderness and injury coexist.

Rather than representing motherhood through narrative or image, the work allows it to emerge through material transformation: melting, pressure, piercing, leakage, and accumulation. The slow dripping of milk quietly echoes the repetitive, often invisible pain embedded in maternal labor.

As the milk gathers on the salt, the installation traces a fragile balance between nourishment and depletion. Motherhood appears not as a fixed identity, but as something that unfolds through the body—sustaining, exhausting, wounding, and continuously in the process of becoming.
