“After the birth of my first child I completely forgot what I looked like pregnant, the main focus was on my new family and if I thought about myself it was about my recovery, a word what actually gives a negative taste to pregnancy. It’s a shame that we don’t appreciate this special moment of your body growing your child. We took photos but they are in a photo album and we don’t look into that regularly. I love that this sculpture is subtle and reminds me of this special time together”

“I got myself 3D scanned when I was 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first baby. It was intended as a Father’s Day present but the statue really was a family present. One day my son will be old enough to feel the statue and understand that this was him inside of me. Equally, while I didn’t appreciate my body during pregnancy, I do now and I am very grateful that I can now look at it with a different perspective and admiration of what the female body is capable of.”
