In the Mourning

This image was taken the morning after my surgical abortion procedure, as you can see I am wearing the mesh underwear the nurses at Planned Parenthood provide for you. 

In media, we see people wearing underwear in marketing campaigns and are minds deviate towards beauty and sex appeal. This image captivates the raw humanness to the rest and recovery post procedure, and the sterile whiteness we see in medical spaces. The title is derived from the reality many face post abortion, as while relief exists, mourning and grief do as well. The body has no mind for anything other than laying down, processing, and healing.
