“Being Hybrid Donna” continues the thematic and material-aesthetic exploration of “Being Hybrid Shelly”, but with a particular focus on the theme of reproduction. The installation questions the societal assumption that the female-read body, due to its gender, is inherently responsible for birth, motherhood, and caregiving. It addresses not only the physical ability to reproduce but also the potential risks of overtaxing this ability—both in cultural and ecological contexts. As an embodied reflection of natural reproductive processes and their ecological implications, “Being Hybrid Donna” calls for a critical examination of the balance between cultural, biological, and environmental concerns. It invites viewers to question the impacts of reproduction on the environment, while simultaneously seeking to free the female-coded body from these projections.
