Dayna Ball, Growth, High Fire Death Valley Clay, Acrylic Paint, 16 x 16 x 10 inches, 2022 - 03 Growth discusses the beginning of human life in this most vulnerable in utero stage. Growth discusses how all organisms experience life stages, how intraorganistically, or across species, life is still life. In the case of the human species, life definitively begins at conception, but currently a huge portion of scientific misinformation runs amok. The pro-abortion argument is really not an argument of when human life begins, but rather when it is protected and valued. It is surely alarming how so many individuals are willing to deny science in order to justify actions they wish. While this piece nods to barbaric modern killing practices in utero, Growth really discusses the beginnings of life for us all.
