These images are all part of a narrative of dealing with sorrow and loss. It was a way for me to interact with feelings after a miscarriage, and also a way for me to visually force myself not to internalize my feelings.
Although these works started out being a totally personal experience, I involved my husband in some shots. It was very interesting to see how my husband engaged in the act, as he isn't as comfortable behind my camera. The work also spiraled outward, as I started to realized that I was making a commentary on my expectations in my marriage, on my place as a woman, and on my goals for the future. Will I be a Mother someday? Will I fulfill all the dreams that I had as a child?
These are my most personal works and they mean a lot to me, although I do realize that they will hit a different chord in the viewer.
