In June of 2025, I installed the artwork for the Culterim Independent Class group show. The same day, I got sterilised. I was exhibiting Maiden Mother Crone for the first time and I've just graduated as the last one. I finally became useless to the society as a means of production of humans and I continued to disperse my knowledge instead. 4 days after my stitches were out, I went swimming with my boyfriend for the first time this summer. Right there, floating on the surface of Plötzensee, I felt it fully for the first time. My body is mine. My body has no other purpose than my fulfilment in this lifetime. It only took 31 years to experience this revelation. It only took minus 4 cm of my fallopian tubes. I became fully myself. It felt the same as a ritualistic tattoo or scarification. a permanent body modification in service of my spirituality. My struggle to be taken seriously when I said I chose not to give birth ended. My identity euphoria kicked in, and it's here to stay.
