Birth Currents explores the immense power of birth and the female body’s capacity to carry and bring life into the world. My perspective is deeply shaped by the home I grew up in; raised by an obstetric nurse and a hospice worker, I came to understand birth and death as cyclical, intertwined parts of life. The way my mother spoke with such passion about the women she supported during childbirth left a lasting impression on me and continues to inform my work.
Birth Currents has been exhibited in The Grey Space in the Middle, Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague and Nieuw en Meer. A review of the exhibition has been published by Metropolis M. De Correspondent has published the article ‘Wie is de baas tijdens jouw bevalling?’ along with 7 photos of the project. t
