We Are All Made of Stars

I'm submitting a watercolour painting that I made to symbolise the nine embryos I lost from my first round of IVF.

I turned to looking out at the universe and astronomy, in order to see the 'bigger picture', as a way of coping with and processing my grief once I had accepted that further rounds of IVF hadn't worked and I was going to be childless.

This painting is a combination of me processing the loss of those nine potential lives and also finding peace in the fact that everything in the universe is ultimately connected.
