A statue in my obstetrician/gynecologist’s office.

I walked into my ob/gyn’s office, and right there in the waiting room was this bizarre sculpture that looked like a giant baby wrapped in what appeared to be a burrito blanket, complete with toppings. I sat there, half-reading a magazine and half-wondering what art class had spawned such a creation. Was it a statement about motherhood? A reminder that life’s messy? Or just someone’s way of saying, “Yes, parenting is like trying to cram a big old baby into a tiny, unfurling flour tortilla”?
I mean, isn’t it just the perfect representation of prenatal visits? You’ve got a bunch of anxious moms-to-be peering at a burrito baby while clutching their own growing bellies, thinking, “This is my life right now!” It was as if the artist had spiced up the typical waiting room experience with a sprinkle of humor—because really, if we can’t laugh about the wild ride of pregnancy, what’s the point?

No they aren’t. The vagina is the tiled ring at the bottom. The penis is made of the black center stones acting as the fountain. The large ball is the head and the mount the ball is on is the shaft, penetrating the tiled ring. The blown glass are the sperm swimming upwards. The spiral ring is an old style of iud. The skylight above represents the destination/egg, but the IUD is preventing them from traveling further up. The light represents the parts needed for life. Skylight is the egg and the glass sperm are also lit. Even more clever is not all of the glass sperm are lit, showing that there are some duds.

Wow I didnt think of it that way. I havent seen that type of IUD before so it didnt occur to me but it all makes sense now.

It’s actually rare enough that searching “spiral IUD” on images took some scrolling but [here’s one i found](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/-TjG7BAhTC-K5OgyfPaXTjUtxXETwkE9l4p9OsmJk-9461rJ_pcGMf9ZOT-pqVIE2uJMWkWrsJ5m6rAsIxUq5AcJKUA6vGcnSSwBV5Osm_Z_FImyn51Q9YL74xcHEA)

I guess this is why some people call IUDs “the coil”

In fairness, there was an intra-fallopian device called “Essure,” which was a small coil or spring. It was originally an alternative to traditional tubal ligations but was removed from the market in 2019 because it was a baddddddd device and the rate of failure and degrees of complications were horrifying.

Wow, that’s… impressively specific. I came here expecting a random funny sculpture, not an entire anatomy and reproductive lesson. Can’t unsee it now, and honestly, part of me is impressed.

This interpretation is why I suck at art! I thought it was egg and ovary as well (and some lost sperm) but your description is spot on. I missed all that lol

I looked at it and thought the black orb was supposed to be the egg,

its a penise entering a vagine, shooting sperm into the light

I think the confusion is because the heads of most penises aren’t spherical.

Mine’s also not that big, but then again, it’s also not black 🙁

It’s all relative to the sperm though, I reckon if you scaled yourself up to this size it would ALMOST be that big.

i think they’re swimming the right way! the bottom part looks like the tip that has penetrated and spraying upwards

What do you think?
