Datchuk’s She Works Hard For the Money and Hard Day’s Work speak to growth and transformation: fruits and vegetables maturing for harvest, and the simultaneous physiological and emotional changes women and children undergo during pregnancy. From seed to soil, from infertility to fertility, from the ways we carry life to the labor and care that follow. Cast from an antique Chinese ceramic pillow—once used to preserve elaborate hairstyles overnight—these porcelain baby forms evoke the quiet labor that props up wealth and status. Reimagined here, they bear the weight of Asian women’s work, smiling as they kneel, backs burdened.
