CURATED BY GIRLS Performance artist/ director Lauren Pringle during her seventh month of pregnancy, captured by Anika Zachow - www.curatedbygirls.com/bump-magic/* "It is wild even in pregnancy, the female body still becomes an object of gaze, both positively and negatively. Body dysmorphia is real and I found myself comparing my bump to others thinking it was too big or too high or not the 'perfect' shape. Having a body is wild enough, creating life is wild enough and then the fact we still have to be concerned about our image comparisons on instagram with other 'perfect' pregnancies and bumps is just unrealistic. What is most important is that we are healthy, beautiful, juicy, alive bodies creating life in all shapes and sizes. This photoshoot is an ode to that and to keep feeling embodied throughout pregnancy and integrate the bump magic into all practises, keeping fabulous and free." -@laurenjaynepringle Photographer: @zachow_pictures HMU: @luagamia.mua Location @mahallaberlin Find out more about Lauren's work at @ourbodymoves
