UNDERCURRENT (Maurel/Chabbert) 2024

Perinatal grief

Ingrid and her partner Marjorie long for a child. Getting pregnant, however, is quite an adventure. After much hope and despair, a baby is finally on the way. But what a difficult pregnancy. Always that bleeding. Ultimately, their baby is delivered prematurely to save Ingrid's life. Crying babies in the maternity ward are especially painful. An inhumane way of coping with the loss of their star child follows. And then there's the guilt.

"No, let me go with him!" After this sentence, the album had to be put aside for a while. The colors faded. Even breathing became difficult. Those around you didn't know what to say about your stillborn child. Fortunately, Ingrid and Marjorie could talk to others in the same situation, they learned to live again, to laugh... They also found resilience in each other.

Ingrid Chabbert (Zestig Lentes) offers comfort to those who have experienced it themselves. Carole Maurel (De Juffrouw, Horizontale Collaboratie) draws with attention to the emotions, especially visible in the many close-ups. We see the colors gently reappear. A renewed hope for recovery, a smile... But the shadow will remain a part of life.
