Potato's in Amorosa

This painting is called Potato’s in Amorosa. The title implies that these potato’s are lovers. They seem to be intimately entangled with one another. It also looks like an ultrasound. A baby in the womb or maybe the moment of conception? 

Because her parents are art collectors, Jacqueline grows up surrounded by art. She leads a pretty active life and becomes a member of an international activist art group called The Situationists, which is a group based on ideas about art and politics. They are primarily important in the Paris student riot in 1968. They focus on the importance of the opposition of new generations against the old ones to defy the ones in power.
