Pregnancy is a time of upheaval for a woman. Her body changes but also her whole life. She is at a point of no return, where doubts, fear and questions arise. The uncertain future for our children, the fear that they grow up in a world where darkness is more and more perceptible. Yet in the midst of all this darkness, I always seek this glimmer of hope, this unconditional love that only a mother, can give for their children. I want to depict these feelings in little sub-stories built around common themes such as Rebirth and Mother Nature with a touch of nostalgia for timeless fairy tales.
