From my own fear of pregnancy, I started researching online and came across many reddit posts from women describing their fear and phobia of pregnancy. I discovered that it’s called tokophonia. The vessel that serves as a container and holds and nurtures life represents the expectations onto women in relationships, family and society, and the role they often play. The applied images are created by Ai, creating a sense of horror through a distortion of the images. On the other side, you can read the posts from reddit.

Usually when we talk about pregnancy and bringing life it holds a very romantic angle to it. I wanted to show the other side that can come to mind about pregnancy from a female perspective.
