The expression of handmade infant heads depict comfort and tranquility as the uniformity of white symbolises a child’s innocence. However, the peaceful slumber contrasts with copious bodiless heads haphazardly arranged in varying sizes and irregularities such as concave heads, uneven edges and chipped corners defy that peace. The viewer experiences a semblance of conflicting feelings as they are overwhelmed with dream-like calm but also an unsettled and perturbed consciousness.

Several white ceramic sculptures of baby faces with closed eyes, some with large faces and smaller faces on their foreheads, arranged on a surface.
