Avatãra

Avatãra 2021 – 2023

The series Avatãra is about my pregnancy with my daughter, (including her birth and up to 2 year postpartum). She is my second child. She was conceived after I experienced several miscarriages which was also exacerbated due to the pandemic. Miscarriage is a very specific kind of loss. You connect with a soul and lose them again without actually meeting them. Their essence feels tangible yet I could never physically feel them. By creating this series I felt that I was honouring this soul that was arriving at the same time acknowledging that the trauma of the miscarriages left me feeling unsure if the pregnancy would even be successful. It was a way for me to process the enormity of feelings that goes with pregnancy especially after experiencing loss and being faced with a pandemic.
