"Dawn" is one of a series of three pieces inspired by the Apple TV adaptation of Asimov's Foundation books.
"Dawn" is a newborn baby girl. Self-contained, no awareness of herself as a separate conscious entity. She is filled with life, color and potential, her time is yet to come.
The empire stagnates and falls because nothing new is created to deal with an ever changing reality. Male clones are grown in a tank, an obscene conceit is realised.
My Dawn, Day and Dusk are re-imagined as female; a visceral reaction to female erasure. They represent the true power of creation in three stages of life.
