"When people see the
image of a human fetus, they often associate it with abortion and the warring
political perspectives that come with that issue. But to artist and
entrepreneur Lily Su, the image of an unborn baby symbolizes ultimate comfort.
After creating a series of light boxes featuring images of developing zygotes,
she moved on to sculpting her ideas in soap. The unexpected new medium allowed customers
to interact with her art in ways that aren't permitted in traditional art
galleries (a Basquiat canvas wouldn't be of much use to you in the shower). The
result of her project was a life-sized 12- to 13-week-old soap fetus measuring
2.5 inches incased in an embryonic sac." - vice
