Suomenlinna island, Helsinki, Finland, 2023
Long-term series of the performances-as-life. Love and life will win death.
"Pregnancy. Old placenta. Not enough oxygen for the fetus. Childbirth. C-section birth. Even elective birth through surgery. Hormonal changes. First days together. Breasts full of milk. Excruciating pain. Baby blues. War. Air raids. Life in the basement. And then the roads. Endless roads between borders. Life is everywhere and nowhere. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting for the end of the war to continue living. Living the life of the living dead? I hope not, but that's how I feel. Only you remind me of life, only you give me this life, my Eve, a woman who gives life. I promise to preserve it for us."
From Maria's letters to Eva, September 13, 2023
