Two creature concepts created from a feeling that I can’t shake. The “schedule” that gets imposed on women. Life feels like it's on a countdown where my career becomes optional and my value becomes domestic output.
This pressure hit me hard in the past year, and it’s been looming ever since. Not because of my current partner (he’s supportive of my ambitions), but because I lived for almost a decade inside an expectation that I should become a housewife, soften myself, and serve. These designs are my way of externalizing that dread.
Both creatures are intentionally feminine-coded but dehumanized. Their bodies are altered to be difficult to move in, their autonomy is bound, and their identity is reduced to function.
