Erika Choe’s womb explores mothering, birth, rebirth, and loss through a video-based performance that examines permeability, vulnerability, and bodily transformation. Through the slathering of clay across the skin, Choe approaches material as both armor and cleansing, navigating the unstable boundary between protection and exposure. The work confronts viewers with questions of endurance and abjection, using mothering as a vessel through which soma, memory, and psycho trauma become entangled.
