The ceramic sculpture resembles an opened flower bud. As a symbol of growth, fertility, and the transition from girl to woman, the flower is deeply embedded in cultural perceptions. It represents life and development, yet it is often reduced to beauty, purity, and external appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work opens a view to what remains hidden behind these images. Inside the bud are dark, pointed forms reminiscent of thorns. They represent hidden pain – menstrual cramps, abdominal pain, and physical experiences that are often invisible yet shape the daily lives of many people. Red blood emerges from the opening of the ceramic. It flows out of the form, making visible what is still frequently tabooed in society. The blood refers to menstruation as a natural part of life and brings a physical process into focus that, despite its naturalness, is often associated with shame, silence, or discomfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe juxtaposition of the organic, blossom-like form with the hidden thorns and the emerging blood creates a tension between external perception and internal experience. While the sculpture initially evokes fertility, beauty, and growth, its interior reveals pain, vulnerability, and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith “Hidden,” Rosalia Wilms-Posen draws attention to the invisible. The work makes visible what often remains hidden and opens a space for engagement with physicality, societal norms, and female-coded experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Newman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57770305093964,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8842\/0940\/files\/Werkfoto.jpg?v=1781185307","url":"https:\/\/www.galerie-newman.de\/en\/products\/rosalia-wilms-posen-hidden","provider":"Galerie Newman","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
