I knew I wanted to be a mother the day I saw a pair of tiny Levi's Strauss in a department store. Nine Waves is about how hard it was to make that dream come true.
According to the World Health Organization, infertility is a disorder that doesn't allow you to get pregnant after 12 months of trying. Despite its importance, infertility is a topic that has historically been poorly explored because we are talking about a void developing in the bodies of women (a historically marginalized group), and generally kept in silence.
Nine Waves is a retrospective personal account of my years of infertility (of searching, waiting, treatments, rituals, uncertainty). With this work I want to raise awareness of a reality that currently affects 1 out of 6 couples and will continue to affect future generations — by the year 2050, it is expected that 41% of men will be infertile and will need assisted reproduction techniques to conceive.
