Although a more problematic procedure than for many others, she decided to go ahead with a pregnancy. This meant taking a risk and going off medication through the process. <img width="1772" height="1772" width_o="1772" height_o="1772" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/288965e86eb03b04a357ace5a2e7cd18f342bb58b920095a3a210443b1a4dd51/Jafnvel-logni-er-hvasst-2.jpg" data-mid="19666564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/288965e86eb03b04a357ace5a2e7cd18f342bb58b920095a3a210443b1a4dd51/Jafnvel-logni-er-hvasst-2.jpg" /> Simultaneously intrigued and worried I follow her journey in becoming a mother. The work discusses not only my sisters condition and her becoming a mother but also how society sees, reacts to and faces the taboo that comes with mental illnesses and motherhood through mental illness. Looking at our societal structure there is little space for failure, imperfections and unfamiliarities. This is especially true in the reality of mothers. Reflecting upon my own environment and motherhood I expose the raw reality that exist within that construct, shedding light on both the beauty and often harsh existence mothers and mothers to be faced and fought against. <img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0c5fbc64138e38c7743395704002818f17b07e4ae92d89e67bfcc8d88e10d9a/36482959_10156601886543453_5145645702809911296_o.jpg" data-mid="19666567" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0c5fbc64138e38c7743395704002818f17b07e4ae92d89e67bfcc8d88e10d9a/36482959_10156601886543453_5145645702809911296_o.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/988ae24d8725f0c941f5608bd798557199c3fa33e01b59df038a6fd5573dbdf0/36529958_10156601886623453_6301388184886444032_o.jpg" data-mid="19666571" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/988ae24d8725f0c941f5608bd798557199c3fa33e01b59df038a6fd5573dbdf0/36529958_10156601886623453_6301388184886444032_o.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5625020196c03a4c8b216b71a3f9a59a2226ee510ee8cfd79572b2d95fd19af3/36506374_10156601886568453_4522868048956227584_o.jpg" data-mid="19666569" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5625020196c03a4c8b216b71a3f9a59a2226ee510ee8cfd79572b2d95fd19af3/36506374_10156601886568453_4522868048956227584_o.jpg" /> https://huldasif.com/Motherhood Tue, 03 Jul 2018 12:05:12 +0000 Hulda Sif https://huldasif.com/Motherhood Motherhood Mothers and motherhood have long been subjects of artists’ and cultural fascinations and although with time, the idea of the sacred mother has changed, they are often still represented stereotypically.

The working mother, the carrier mother, the mother that never gets any rest, the tension that arises when we are protecting our children; teaching, looking after them and nurturing. The child becomes some kind of an attachment, we are stuck in our role as mothers whether we like it or not. The role is wonderful and the most important one but at the same time often, and for many, suppressive. <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b97d4a1eaa6b09bb09085822d6b0a2f70bb4121dd8e2c8a982a278fa265edcb5/Hulda_Sif-7.jpg" data-mid="19667427" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b97d4a1eaa6b09bb09085822d6b0a2f70bb4121dd8e2c8a982a278fa265edcb5/Hulda_Sif-7.jpg" /><img width="2975" height="3000" width_o="2975" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/97bec09dbef1fb121baeec07d290dbe9ca0371e1ec534106ed5b3b8f1d8e9edf/Hulda_Sif-10.jpg" data-mid="19667430" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/97bec09dbef1fb121baeec07d290dbe9ca0371e1ec534106ed5b3b8f1d8e9edf/Hulda_Sif-10.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0dcfa3f381c295291dd26217a32fd1b1852219c7c55a053673b271ffca88013f/Hulda_Sif-9.jpg" data-mid="19667429" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0dcfa3f381c295291dd26217a32fd1b1852219c7c55a053673b271ffca88013f/Hulda_Sif-9.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d95d7b41fc255b3750a955c7e3ad90f8128a3cf782421ed6140d16f51bd054c4/Hulda_Sif-3.jpg" data-mid="19667423" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d95d7b41fc255b3750a955c7e3ad90f8128a3cf782421ed6140d16f51bd054c4/Hulda_Sif-3.jpg" />The question of motherhood is of course deeply personal – but at the same time, with slow changes within equality and rights, deeply political.In series of portraits I catch a particular moment and the tension that describes the universal feeling of motherhood. <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da4a2b5a27ba57d0528edbdd8e7cd6b7828ac6220f07febb3ae5a03698472508/Hulda_Sif-5.jpg" data-mid="19667425" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da4a2b5a27ba57d0528edbdd8e7cd6b7828ac6220f07febb3ae5a03698472508/Hulda_Sif-5.jpg" /> https://huldasif.com/Like-me Tue, 03 Jul 2018 12:05:10 +0000 Hulda Sif https://huldasif.com/Like-me Like me Social media is an overwhelming factor within our lives – we are constantly submerged.
