Reflected Experience

Dear friends and colleagues,

As an artist, I’m currently working on a new art project, Reflected Experience — a project about the inner emotional states that can emerge after the birth of a child.
I want to connect with women who, after giving birth, felt that something was hard — anxiety, emptiness, sadness, loneliness, or emotional disorientation — even if they never named it as postpartum depression.
This project is about personal, lived feelings that often remain invisible and unspoken.
I’m inviting participants for a short, candid interview (10–15 minutes).
Participation is anonymous. Your words will be used as artistic material for a visual art project.
I’m looking to speak with:

— women who experienced a difficult emotional period after childbirth;
— those who felt sadness, anxiety, loneliness, or confusion;
— whether this happened recently or many years ago;
— whether there was a diagnosis or not.

What matters is your experience and your willingness to share it.

If this resonates with you, or if you’d like to learn more, please reach out to me via email: art@oxanakovalchuk.com
