Birthing Paintings
Jamel, Haiti
Summer 2013
I am in Jacmel, managing a free health clinic for a few weeks with several American doctors. Most of them are gynecologists and constantly talk about things that I find gross. They talk of discharge and pus and afterbirth substances. I never talk about these things. They are gross.
One of the doctors came in to the clinic and asked if anyone saw the cool birthing paintings in the art shop down the street.
"You should see them. I think I am going to get one for my office. They are really different".
So at the end of the day, I walked down to the art store to take a look. This is what I found and I couldn't believe that anyone would want this hanging in her office.
