MOTHERHOOD 

Book

Soft cover, 52 pages
15 x 21 cm

This book is a very personal story, a visual exploration into motherhood and postnatal depression.

I have “started” this work two years ago, as a way to cope with the overwhelming feeling of being alien and out of place.

It is a collection of photographs i took on my phone. It was the only thing that kept me sane, somehow connected me to the outside world, made me forget about the paradoxical endless sense of loneliness that motherhood brought...These images were my attempt to digest the idea of being a mother while also being depressed, the idea of continuing something without the option of quitting, the idea of me as mother and the relationship to the outside world, which seemed completely alien to me.
