Where Life Begins, by Tracy Mclihatton
Where Life Begins by visual artist Tracy McIlhatton is a documentary exploration of pregnancy and birth, closely connected to this year’s theme HUMAN:NATURE.
Follow us on FacebookThe work reflects on birth as an elemental relationship between body, life and the natural world. Rather than idealising the experience, McIlhatton focuses on strength, vulnerability, waiting, uncertainty and transformation, revealing birth as both deeply human and profoundly natural: a process of bodies, connection and change.
