After the birth of my first child, I gradually forgot what I looked like during pregnancy. All attention was devoted to the new family, everyday life and the recovery process. Only later did I realize how special this stage of life really was - the time when my body created and carried life. We have pregnancy photos, but they are mostly kept in albums that we don't open every day. This sculpture has become a beautiful and delicate reminder of this special time. Every time I look at it, it brings back warm memories and a sense of our shared journey to parenthood.

I am happy with the way I look now, but I know that my body will change over the next few years as I start a family. So I wanted to create a sculpture right now - as a beautiful reflection of this phase of my life. While I’m young, strong and in the best shape of my life. I know I'll want to come back in the future to make another sculpture and see how I've changed over time. That's the beautiful part of life, embracing change and embracing it. And who knows — maybe my next sculpture will be during pregnancy.

I have never been so proud of myself! I felt completely free and comfortable posing nude at Omoide Studio, where I was scanned from head to toe. My sculpture is simply — wow! It completely reflects me and this experience.
