Metamorphosis, in process

The essay recounts my own experience of the body harboring and nurturing another life in formation.

The body that I belong to and that was never mine before society; that judges, demands, harasses and forces. I discover in that belonging, the power of the body, the strength and power of gestating, another life pulsates in my womb. I document in images the physical and emotional transformation of this experience and the loneliness of a pregnant woman, enhanced in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, far from hugs and touching.
