À propos du livre
Becoming a mother is a momentous moment in a woman’s life, but many soon experience a dark reality called postpartum depression. Postpartum depression (or “Poporodní Deprese” in Czech) is labeled as depression and anxiety that happens after the birth of a child. Kaitlin Woodward, a photographer of Czech descent, uses digital photography to show the complex emotions and symptoms of this illness, which she personally experienced after the birth of both of her children. The surreal fantasy style of her photographs shows how postpartum depression often feels like a disconnection from reality. This work is intended to encourage awareness and support for mothers who experience postpartum depression by creating a visual representation for how the illness manifests. By drawing attention to the symptoms of postpartum depression, people can create a positive environment for mothers suffering from this common but often invisible illness. Fostering that awareness will create happier and healthier mothers and children by reducing or eliminating fear, doubt, lack of support, and lack of resources. Others will be able to viscerally experience feelings that are not so easy to express through verbal and written narrative. While there is no way to prevent postpartum depression yet, more can be done to help those who do and will suffer from it. Poporodní Deprese is an essential key to helping unlock more help for new mothers suffering from this usually silent illness.
