Medical history has demonstrated that the bodies of women and assigned female at birth (AFAB) people have been repeatedly overlooked and wrongly diagnosed. 

Incited by this lack of universal awareness, this ongoing series aims to ethically visualise health experiences that affect women and AFAB people, to make viewers aware of the emotional strain caused by them, and the need for more educational conversations around our health. 

In the Dark: Birth follows on to depict Wingrove’s friend Annie’s traumatic experience of birth, through photographic images that present green abstract bodily forms and typographic fabric posters that encompass the emotional strain of birth and the (in)visible transition into motherhood. Wingrove encourages viewers to reflect on their own health experiences and / or the ones of their friends and family using the words and images of Annie’s to explore their own.
