Description:

In the most positive of depictions, women are often placed on a pedestal. Aloft and immobilized, we feel lonely and confined. Stuck in the same gender patterns and archetypes, we repeat them. Inside of the chair atop a pedestal is another nativity scene. This one is modernized and ready with domestic niceties, toys, and Huggies for the birth.
