“I was inspired by the thought of Yogi Bhajan that a child is already learning in your womb and all the power, courage, spirituality and inspiration you want to give her, give it before the birth. Not only a little baby is growing during pregnancy, but also the soul and the spirit of a woman are growing, which in addition to the celebration of the child’s coming deserves its special celebration and blessing. This exceedingly mighty process of growing centralizes all its power to the inner changes and in this way there is something deeply private and veiled in this life stage. It recalls Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ thought from the book Women Who Run With the Wolves that there are days in the woman’s cyclic life, when it is better to go out only with veiled face – (during the Winter time of the feminine moon-cycle), during times, when the woman’s vital energy and eye is turned inwards, towards the inner spring of knowledge and wisdom. Mystical force, that manifests during these days is noticeable to the outer world even through the veil. The arrival of another soul into the womb multiplies the sensitivity. The baby’s sensitivity will form a part of mother’s sensitivity and thus the child-carrying time is the time of a manifestation of the extensively broadened inner strength and firmness; the time of feminine Autumn and Winter.” 2017 Inner Nature, Kaia Otstak & Karin Strohm, Valga Museum, Valga 2017 Inner Nature, Kaia Otstak, Karin Strohm & Kärt Hammer, Museum of New Art, Pärnu
