We Had an Abortion is a safer space for Polish women to share their abortion stories and pose for photos—openly or anonymously.
The project stems from my own abortion experience, which I am still processing. I want to create a judgment-free space where women can speak without stigma, perhaps forming a community that resists shame through shared testimony.
I’m particularly interested in the objects we keep from this experience—pregnancy tests, ultrasound photos—symbols of a pivotal moment. Exploring these mementos may make storytelling easier than confronting the entire experience at once.
“Did you wonder why you kept it? Would you show it to me? Can I photograph it?”
