To Know Womanhood Is To Know Waiting 48x60*

To Know Womanhood Is To Know Waiting 48x60*

48x60” (49.25”x62.25” framed)

We wait for so much. As girls, we wait for our bodies to tell us we’re women. Once we’re women, we wait monthly to be reminded of this truth. We wait for opportunities. For that boy to tell us he’s interested, for that man to call us back, for the love of our lives to finally ask the question that will change our future. We wait for promotions, to be paid what we’re worth. For a friend to call us back- with her good news, bad news, any news. For that pregnancy test to be positive. Or negative. We wait as a body grows inside our own, we wait for the birth of a child, a birth into our own new selves. We wait until our bodies are ready to grow strong again, to go back to our lives. Then we wait for the next one. This piece reflects my own struggle with waiting.

The illegible script in this piece is poetry written around the ideas expressed above.
