There are some titles that refuse to leave your head. They arrive like shards—fragmented, heavy, and sharp. “female war i am pottery 01 2015” is one of those titles. It’s not a sentence that invites easy reading; it’s a collision of nouns, a declaration of identity, and a timestamp all at once. female war i am pottery 01 2015
Today, I want to unpack this phrase as if it were an artifact. Is it a lost performance piece? A series of photographs? A journal entry turned sculpture? Whatever its original form, the words alone create a powerful, visceral map of the feminine psyche under duress.

The “01 2015” – A Specific Winter
The date anchors the piece to a particular moment in time: January 2015.
Let’s remember the context. In early 2015, the world was reeling from the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. The #YesAllWomen movement was still fresh in memory from 2014. Globally, conversations about military sexual assault, the refugee crisis (particularly Syrian women fleeing conflict), and the quiet wars of reproductive rights were reaching a fever pitch.
To title a work “01 2015” suggests a journal entry, a snapshot of a specific winter of discontent. Perhaps the artist was reading about a war zone. Perhaps she was leaving one. Perhaps the only war that month was the one inside her own chest—the fight to create when the world tells you to be silent.
