Radicata

It speaks to the unseen organ that sustains life, both visceral and sacred.
Made from fabrics belonging to the women who raised me, the piece holds memory, tradition, and care within its stitched form. Wrapped in scoby leather, grown and dyed at home, the placenta becomes a living skin: fragile, preserved, and symbolic of matrilineal inheritance. Placed on a silver tray, it rests as both offering and remembrance, a root into the body and into history.
