Post. Partum. Dimension.

Self-portrait capturing the initial throes of motherhood. The depiction of both the mother and infant are naturalistic. Her facial expression conveys shock as she adjusts to the major changes motherhood ushers into everyday life. Her hair is green, resembling that something isn't quite how it usually is, and she is surrounded by bold, clashing patterns which create ambiguity between the background and foreground reflecting the muddled feeling being on autopilot whilst feeling a sense of loss of identity. The framing of the subject is a nod to the selfie, and symbolic of the isolation that is felt by many new mothers, but spoken about by few.
