For many women, becoming a mother for the first time is really scary. It is not so common to speak about these emotions, therefore young mothers think that their emotions are so-called “wrong”. Society sees motherhood as an obligation, a kind of sacrifice. Loneliness, insomnia, self-loss, routine, new responsibilities, responsibilities and many other moments – something to keep quiet about ” I don’t remember exactly when my fears arose, but with the long-awaited pregnancy, they surfaced, bothered me, and gave me no more rest. In the photo series “HOME ALONE”, I show what haunted me so much for nine months.
The final project was exhibited in Estonian Academy of Arts, August 2020
