This piece embodies the first phase of female transformation — the moment when a woman feels frozen in the decision of whether or not to have a child. It’s an uncomfortable state, one that feels full of choice and devoid of it. Contraception, abortion, the decision to have sex at all — each choice leaves traces on the body.

The sculptural chair Frozen makes this tension tangible and feelable. It evokes frozen flesh, a body caught between desire and control. Sitting in it creates a physical experience of both discomfort and massage — a contradiction mirroring the emotional one.

The chair invites men in particular to inhabit this state, to feel the bodily paradox of the baby question.
