Inspired by the Roe vs. Wade reversal and it’s impact on women's rights to autonomy over their own bodies, health and happiness. Vintage pix show different motherhood situations such as a woman in a doctor’s office having a consult as well as another woman who is very pregnant, Additionally, there are several clearly impoverished neglected children, including one just a young girl holding a baby-is it hers? Or has her own childhood been usurped by having to care for younger siblings due to an overwhelmed mother with too many to manage or even worse a deceased or absent one? And sadly, what was intended to be a private and safe place for them has become a blood red house of entrapment and fear as their discovery by the hunters has made them prey.
