Artwork Description
I am in the season of winter, surrendering to the cold darkness. The tree under which I sit is barren. A full moon illuminates the icy blue. I am fully pregnant, sitting on my knees on a blanket under a bare tree and full moon; one ripe apple on the tree hangs within reach. My face is down, and I am intensely focused inward on preserving the life within me, shutting out thoughts of external risks. I contain in me the needed food and nurturance for the newborn. I hold the thought of sacrifice: the loss of my current life for the birth of another. I am not here by accident. I am choosing to surrender to the dark. I am not comfortable, yet I am not afraid.
