This work uses discarded clothing, once worn by a newborn, to pose questions about nature and family. I recreate “The Ugly Duckling” story like strata, using soft discarded cloth layers of various emotions and environmental issues. If I were the mother of this duck, not the swan mother, I would lose my head. In the face of environmental issues, can one care for a child that is not my own? We must address environmental issues for the sake of family problems like these as well.
