Note to self: You liked these Rineke Dijkstra photos very much:
'It was after witnessing the birth of a friend’s baby that Dijkstra decided to make these portraits. She photographed three women, one hour (Julie), one day (Tecla) and one week (Saskia) after giving birth. The raw immediacy of these images captures something of the contradictions inherent in this common and yet most singular of human experiences. The women appear at once vulnerable and invincible, traumatised and self-composed.'
