"My piece 'Ready set babylight' presents pure creation. There is creation in the woman's womb, in her belly, as well as creation in the form of her passion - the film studio. I wish for her to inspire future filmmakers. For me, she empowers and celebrates the force of life within us and all around us." - Lucia Mercedes

The female artists were free to choose which option to pick.
