“Beheaded and quartered” appropriates these visual words to provoke and question women’s entanglement with caring responsibilities. The artist gives permission to herself and to other women in the audience to go against stereotypes and rip apart the bodies of dolls in an act of liberation from caring duties on mother’s day.
