ALEKSANDRA CEGIELSKA

The Vulva fields project is an ongoing endeavor with the ultimate goal of integrating its creations into nature. There are two distinct videos associated with the project: the first, produced in 2021, features Cegielska's 5-year-old daughter, while the second is a digital adaptation developed in collaboration with digital designer Oscar J. Paddon. The project's initial phase began in the summer of 2021, marked by the crafting 50 vulvas, flower sculptures made from bent wire. In February 2023, a new iteration emerged with 3D visualizations of Cegielska’s.

These vulvas symbolize far more than feminist ideals alone; they stand as potent symbols of equality across gender, race, and religion. The Vulva Fields project explores inseparable connection between humanity and the natural world, utilizing wire - symbolic of energy flow - as a conduit between the artist who plants and the viewer who harvests. Embracing a childlike perspective, the project leverages innocence as a lens to dismantle complex social constructs. Children, unencumbered by adult biases, possess a unique clarity in recognizing injustice.
