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.
