Driven to gain control over her body and reproductive rights, an artist documents her procedure of human oocyte cryopreservation (freezing eggs). Her story tracks the medical and emotional impacts while addressing the position of the artist in society in relation to traditional family structures. Borrowing from the staging of hidden mother photography in the Victorian era, the artist invites the viewer to consider the expectations of holding a child ‘stable’ while fulfilling societal expectations in a precarious world.
