Rooted in ecofeminist thought, Fruiting Bodies depicts mushrooms growing in pairs, in clusters, or alone – their delicate structures echoing the human body and reclaiming the organic world as a site of feminist inquiry. Like the female body, mushrooms have been valued primarily through their reproductive function. Yet, beneath the surface, a vast underground mycelial network is vital in ways that defy conventional visibility: in care, in knowledge, in reciprocity. Fruiting Bodies documents these transient structures as metaphors that challenge dominant narratives of fertility and productivity.
