The Cushion is designed with a shapeless bosom, arm, and faceless head with headdress in the upper half, and a pig-like element on the right receiving a fruit. The figure of a pig leads to the reproductive factor of sows and women. The fruit is an apple and thus a Christian symbol of fertility. Following the Christian narrative, eating it would lead to pregnancy and birth, and ultimately to restrictions, dependence, care, and housework. Of bright colour, but made from cleaning cloth and plastic net, the fruit symbolizes the female dilemma, emphasized by the lace from women’s underwear beneath, which suggests the reproductive organs.
Turned around, the pig is a female torso, decorated with a sash like those women receive at beauty contests. Ambiguity and ambivalence are addressed by pointing at women’s roles as mother and seductress.
