An intimate art project about pregnancy loss and invisible statistics
5=3 is a personal and socially engaged art campaign that invites women to share their private pregnancy histories through the language of numbers.
The project began with my own:
1. I was pregnant five times to have our three children.
2. Two losses. Two silences. Two absences.

Through ceramic objects, storytelling, and participatory tools — including public art, anonymous submissions, and social media — 5=3 aims to break the taboo around miscarriage and pregnancy termination. It creates a space for collective visibility, quiet solidarity, and healing through shared experience.
At its core, this project is not about numbers — it’s about everything they contain: grief, resilience, memory, and truth.
