There is no more ancient or powerful symbol for enduring life as the pregnant female form. It embodies the endless cycle of nature, and at the same time, the mystery and hope of pure, unborn potential. In 'Potential 8', this symbol is intensified by the torso, and so all identity, dissolving away. On the curve of the belly we notice a small hand, pushing outwards. The palm of the hand is adorned with the symbol of an enlightened being – this child is destined for greatness - and yet may now lie in the humble womb of a beggar woman.
