Postpartum is defined as the period after childbirth.
This visual series explores the topic of postpartum and the challenges that aren’t necessarily shared or spoken about. Specifically because of the lack of information and education on the topic.
With this series, I share my personal postpartum experience. Using the language of abstraction, intricate visual layering, and purposely associated color choices, I express the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges. Including the inability to breastfeed, the overwhelming exhaustion, the healing difficulties. and the loss of self identity.
