Lost in Motherhood, 2022-2024
Lost in Motherhood is a deeply personal project
that explores the complexities of motherhood and its impact on mental health.
It is a journey of self-discovery and self-reflection that it has been undertaken to
offer a more authentic insight into the realities of motherhood
that are often
obscured by social media's idyllic portrayals and in Madonna and child paintings.
Despite the universal nature of motherhood, it can also be
an isolating experience. The challenges faced by mothers are unique and often
overwhelming, from the physical changes to the bodies and hormones to the
impact on the relationships, careers, and household duties.
The demands of
motherhood can be distracted from own needs and desires, such as freedom,
self-care, and sleep. It can be difficult to navigate the
ebbs and flows of
motherhood, and there are no easy answers to the challenges mothers face.
