Wushuang contributed to In Utero within this collaboration, creating an installation that visualises research in fetal and maternal health through sculptural, spatial, and media-based forms. Drawing on advanced fetal MRI and developed in dialogue with two artists and a collaborating scientist, the project investigates how maternal physical and emotional health shape a baby’s developing brain. The work was exhibited at the Science Museum London during the Great Exhibition Road Festival.

The installation forms part of a wider exhibition that includes moving-image sequences of medical scans, a womb-inspired architectural structure, miniature sculptures based on imaging data, and a community-engagement workshop. In In Utero, light, sound, and tactile materials construct a sensory landscape that evokes early gestation.

Co-artists: Sarah Schrimpf, Stiliyana Minkovska; Co-scientist: Dr Julie Sigurdardottir

The project also incorporates perspectives gathered through conversations with parents from the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Maternity Voices Partnership. Their lived experiences provided a vital counterpoint to scientific data, offering insight into the everyday conditions that shape pregnancy. These accounts, together with medical imaging references, informed the conceptual and material language of In Utero. By reframing the womb as a space of memory and reflection, the installation invites visitors to consider how community support and maternal well-being contribute to the foundations of early life.
