Project Brief: Create 2 digital images which visualise the following two specific scenes from a parallel Utopia: 
1. An Interior Environment 
2. An Exterior Environment. 



In this project, inspired by several feminist utopian and dystopian stories (Barbie (2023), Herland, and Egalia’s Daughters), a visionary sci-fi film (Metropolis, 2001: A Space Odyssey), and a powerful feminist exhibition (Women in Revolt! at Tate Britain), I explore the intersection of feminism and futurism to envision a utopia where men can experience pregnancy and childbirth through advanced technology.

Through this project, I aim to create a truly equal utopia, where parenthood is a personal choice for all humans, not an expectation or burden placed on women alone. In this utopia, gender stereotypes no longer exist, and people of all genders and sexualities are fully accepted.
