Womb is an ongoing documentary photography project championing the rights of maternal, reproductive and sexual health for women, girls, BIPOC and LGBTQ2S folk. The project aims to detail the joys and, equally as often, the frustrations and sorrows attached to dealing with this part of human anatomy. It is the source from which we each begin life and it can continue to affect humans in a wide variety of ways: from menarche, pregnancy, adoption, menstruation, miscarriage to cancer, infertility, abortion, multiples, gender reassignment, menopause. The list goes on…
The womb holds enormous mythic symbolism; it is the place we each begin. My own relationship with my womb has been complex. I wanted to learn how other peoples' lives are affected, good or bad, by this part of human anatomy. To see and learn more about my ongoing documentary photography project, visit Womb online, for stories on the myriad ways the uterus affects our lives. You can also check out Change, an offshoot of this project that focuses on people with wombs experiencing the onset of peri-menopause/menopause.
There are so many stories attached, like an umbilical cord, to the womb. Do you have a story to share about how the womb affects/has affected your life? Learn more about the project and reach out.
