Pregnancy Ideas, Bronze sculpture in Pont-de-Chéruy, France.
Pregnancy Ideas is a bronze sculpture in Pont-de-Chéruy that captures a woman in a moment of self-awareness. Her right hand rests on her abdomen while her left touches her opposite shoulder, and a glowing heart appears within the figure.
The sculpture won the international bronze sculpture award Aigle de Nice in 2016. This recognition was followed by an Honorable Mention at an international competition held in Madrid.
This work explores the link between physical pregnancy and creative thought through its imagery of a glowing heart within the figure's body. Visitors often connect with how it depicts motherhood as both a physical and intellectual transformation.
The sculpture stands in the gardens of Place de la Mairie, at 22 rue de la République in Pont-de-Chéruy, inaugurated on 8 July 2017. The bronze structure rises 70 cm on a pedestal whose front plaque reads "La Creativité". The site is an open public garden, reachable on foot from the town centre.
A cast of this sculpture was acquired by the Catalan government and installed at the entrance garden of Pere Claret Health Center in Barcelona. This placement beyond its original location speaks to the work's broader international reach.
