The title of this piece references the language of birth—dilation as the slow, rhythmic opening of the cervix, marking each stage of labor. The work uses a cyclical visual language, centering a maternal figure fused with her child. Her form suggests both expansion and enclosure. Her nipples echo the mythic figure Baubo, who was said to have eyes for nipples—an uncanny, humorous detail that hints at embodied wisdom and feminine power.
