*To You Who Shall Remain Unborn* is an installation that becomes an act of healing, introspection, and resistance. It combines multi-layered collages with fragments of handwritten texts addressed to the children who will never be born. After fifteen years of living with endometriosis and in the lead-up to a hysterectomy in 2025, the artist began writing to those lives that will never be.

The work explores femininity, illness, and family background, and asks what it means to experience motherhood through art, imagination, and community rather than through biology. The installation unfolds as a walk-in space composed of collage fragments that allow visitors to experience both remembrance and erasure simultaneously. Collages and paper connections run along the walls and corners, while ropes emerge from the lower sections and gently stretch across the floor. They evoke connection and continuity while leaving ample space for movement and accessibility.
