As precious as biological birth may seem, we tend to completely dismiss the psycho-physical forms of distress associated with delivering a human life.

Childbirth is a life threatening event, where both mother and child are at risk during delivery. Violent contractions inflict severe pain to mother and child putting them both in danger.

Mother’s Embrace does not look to demonize the birthing process as a whole but to speculate on the spatial horrors upon arriving into this world.
