Artwork Analysis
"Pregnancy" by SHYU Ruey-Shiann is a protruding transparent hemisphere installed on the wall. The hemisphere is constructed with a complex structure using various metals, motors, and pulleys. After pushing the button, the device inside the hemisphere will be activated and present another unique view.
Pregnancy features the mother's body and pregnancy. The hemisphere symbolizes the shape of a pregnant body. The interior mechanical device represents the intricate intertwined veins and tissues to jointly form a life-nurturing existence. Hsu ingeniously utilized mechanical components to simulate how the human body operates and complex metal devices to imitate the uncertainty and fuzzy state of having a fetus in the belly. The overall result seems to contradict with a real physical human body but, once activated, it somehow contains a few traces of a likeness.
