The series depicts an intimate examination of my femininity, my body, and its comparison to ancient portrayals of Venus. I was 18 years old when I was told by several doctors I had fertility issues, and that becoming a mother would be difficult for me. Back then it caused me a frightening shock, I was clueless about the way forward. I have always had issues with accepting my body and femininity and in this series, I face my biggest fear, my own body. In the meantime, I started searching and looking at several versions of Venus depictions in fine art to compare to my own female body. This led me to prehistoric, foundational Venus portrayals which I’ve used to build my own photography on. Included in the series are pieces that make up an imaginary birthing process, and others where I toy with the idea of motherhood.
