Allowing Myself to Be
The photos explore the longing for childbirth, the associated fears, the intensity of the body and soul, and symbols of fertility and sexuality. Through deeply personal questions, they reveal an autonomous sense of the female body experienced from within.
Thesis
Births representations
The thesis explores how contemporary photographic artists depict the often-taboo subject of childbirth, revealing how these representations challenge cultural silences, reshape societal narratives, and reflect broader social attitudes toward birth, identity, and motherhood.
