What Women Carry

Women carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. The emotional weight of the family. Their dreams and what the world may do to those dreams. The expectations of what it means to be a woman and what defines that. Women are so much more than whatever they carry; on their back, their shoulders, in their heart. They can do anything. Partially inspired by Maira Kalman’s work, What WomenCarry. In her own words, “What do women hold? The home and the family. And the children and the food. The friendships. The work. The work of the world. And the work of being human. The memories. And the troubles. And the sorrows and the triumphs. And the love." Designed by Melissa de la Fuente Materials: Brass
