Pray For Blessing is not only the most merciful prayer of a mother, but also the first cry of an embryonic life. Yue Mingyue used red yarn and red thread to create a distinctive "giant uterus". The light red part is clean and gorgeous, symbolizing love and hope, while the dark red part is bloody and heavy, heralding death and the end of life. The randomly scattered silk threads are like stretched blood vessels, interlaced one after another, creating a feeling of relaxation and dampness in the inner wall of the uterus. The outer gauze and cloth set up the frame of the entire "womb". The soft and dense yarn is twisted together after being wrinkled, and there is a suffocating but full of vitality in both touch and perception. In addition to allowing the child to relive the warmth of the mother's body, the "gentle" womb also allows the mother to understand her precious value. True female power and true motherhood are not only the mission given to women by society, but more importantly, women recognition of themselves and their love for themselves. Yarns of different materials are like the materialization of Yue Mingyue artistic inspiration. She uses yarn to create a romance unique to the artist, and uses yarn to express her thoughts about women being turned into fertility tools.
