"MATRIARCHS ON MARCH (M.O.M.)" IS A SCULPTURAL INSTALLATION HONORING THE QUIET RESILIENCE AND COLLECTIVE POWER OF WOMEN ACROSS TIME. COMPRISED OF MULTIPLE SLIP CAST FEMALE FIGURES, EACH UNIQUELY DRESSED IN SLIP-DIPPED DOILY FRAGMENTS, THE WORK BRIDGES DOMESTIC TRADITION WITH SYMBOLIC ARMOR—WHAT WAS ONCE DELICATE AND ORNAMENTAL BECOMES PROTECTIVE AND POWERFUL. DRAWING FROM THE LINEAGE OF MATRIARCHS—REAL, IMAGINED, AND ANCESTRAL—THIS PIECE RECLAIMS FEMININE-CODED MATERIALS AND FORMS TO REPRESENT STRENGTH NOT IN SPITE OF SOFTNESS, BUT THROUGH IT. THE DOILIES, OFTEN RELEGATED TO THE REALM OF DECORATION OR DOMESTIC LABOR, ARE TRANSFORMED INTO GARMENTS OF IDENTITY AND RESISTANCE. TOGETHER, THE FIGURES FORM A UNIFIED MARCH: NOT TOWARD WAR, BUT TOWARD SELF-SOVEREIGNTY, SOLIDARITY, AND TRANSFORMATION. THE ACRONYM “M.O.M.” SERVES BOTH AS A NOD TO THE ARCHETYPE OF THE MOTHER AND A RECLAIMING OF THE TERM AS ONE OF RADICAL NURTURING, LEADERSHIP, AND ENDURANCE. THESE MATRIARCHS DO NOT STAND ALONE; THEY MARCH TOGETHER—WARRIORS WOVEN FROM THREADS OF HISTORY, MYTH, AND MODERNITY
