Part of three works made in 2026 which refer to the stages of life: "Nativitas, Vita, Mors" is Latin for "Birth, Life, Death." It is a common philosophical or artistic motif used to capture the complete cycle of human existence.
Vita is a winding form that stretches from its foundations on a vintage medical trolley towards the ceiling and down to the floor. 360cm in height it could be seen as an over-sized anthropomorphic or animalistic form. The medical trolley legs invoke, for the artist, experiences of medial operations throughout her life.
