Healing Through Buliana
It wasn't until I had my son that I realised how incredible the woman's' bodies are. We are strong and endure so much. We create life, we feed and nurture another being, and we continue to grow and provide all that we have.
Birth is such an incredibly empowering experience.
The birth of my firstborn child was very traumatic, I lost control, and when I was going into my second pregnancy, I was fearful of the end. Though, it was not at all to be feared. Pregnancy is so innate and natural, yet the westernised way has shifted the power and control from the woman to the hospital or physician.
With my second birth and labour, I put faith in my body and knew that it would know what to do. I gave in to the waves of labour. It was such a pivotal moment in my life.
Birth gives you immense strength that no one can take away from you. A woman's body is one to be cherished. These pieces depict the creation of life, motherhood, nurturing and nourishing our beautiful babies or bodies. It expresses the honour we should place on our matriarch.
