Imagine a shared experience - a baby you never got to meet when there was life within them. This body of work is my response to a deeply moving story about a mother’s loss. What emotions might you feel given the chance to encounter your unborn child in their watery world, swimming together in an imagined sacred womb-like space. It is a visual representation of something unseen and unreal - a moment of beauty that expresses the inseparable bond between mother and baby, even if that bond is broken by loss. Through Tulip’s words ‘the life inside of them, their life in you…gone’.
A life in the Womb
