The three-dimensional works titled “Pumping Bags” (2020–2024) are directly connected to motherhood. All the materials Maria Fragoudaki used in these pieces were single-use pumping products. In this body of work, she creates sculptural paintings using materials that were essential during her pregnancy and breastfeeding period. Despite her efforts to avoid single-use plastics, she realized how inevitable their use is, especially during this sensitive yet demanding stage of a woman’s life.
