’Care’, understood on the one hand as unpaid work performed by women, and on the other as a system of soft control that creates the appearance of a relationship based on mutual dependence and gratitude, is one of the key concepts behind the series of handmade ceramic plates titled 'Watch Me Work’. The series addresses the time poverty fuelled by capitalism and the employment system, which ultimately limits the career and personal choices of many women. Using the aesthetic of statistical charts, it illustrates the relationship between work and gender in various fields.
