A side view of a woman giving birth in steel. The artificial figure appears to be constructed from steel girders. Columns of soldiers march out of her womb in rows. They are also transported out of the womb on conveyor belts. The iron substructure made of metal plates, together with the mechanical mother, reinforces the impression of a production machine. In the foreground, many bright crosses can be seen, as we know them from military cemeteries. The digital compositions of the picture series are kept in golden, metallic tones. A variety of lights can be seen in the background.
