In this ongoing series, Feline De Coninck turns her lens towards one of the most profound shifts in a woman’s life: the metamorphosis of becoming a mother. Intimate self-portraits show the first steps of this process: a longing body, full of anticipation.
For Feline stepping into this new identity was intertwined with the overwhelming experience of childbirth—an unexpected C-section that demanded complete surrender.
From then on, taking photographs became a vital form of therapy: she found a way to navigate her changing world and to regain control when everything else felt surrendered.
