Silent Pregnancy presents two orb-like embryonic structures, encrusted in blooming flowers. The topmost orb, gleaming white and studded with black flowers, is mirrored by a ghostly image below, its color scheme paler and reversed. The evocative title of Prusa’s work suggests biological processes and invite complex interpretations of her compelling mixed-media creations.
