La Conceiving

LA CONCIPIENTE

The Concipient, present participle of conceive, to be understood as one who conceives. The words have their own value and their own origin and conceive derives from the Latin con capere, or "to take to oneself", but also "with - to take". It is in both meanings of the word that the Concipiente, by Francioni and Mastromarino, investigates.

Woman as the one who conceives, who gives life, who welcomes the perpetuation of the species into her womb. At the same time, the creation of someone unknown takes place, of a unique life born from the union of two different and independent souls, but which find new unexpected and surprising interconnections in the welcoming nest of the Mother-Woman.

Hospitality

It is the acceptance of the Concipient who widens her nest, a delicate interweaving of threads laid with incessant patience and tenacity to make it more solid and secure, which makes possible not only the acceptance of the new life, but also the discovery and acceptance of the own soul.

Conceive in the meaning of welcoming into oneself, of starting to feel, to experience and nourish a new feeling. Phase possible only after having welcomed oneself into that same nest. Which is protection and safe refuge for what Love places on the path, whether they are parts of our soul or faces other than us, but to which we are instinctively turned.
