This text was done with contribution and professional support from a lawyer– it is a fictitious document that is based on a real contract format. The CONFIDENTIAL PARENT/UNBORN CHILD AGREEMENT is a hypothetical agreement between parents and an unborn child, its purpose is to discuss our right to give birth to a child without her/his consent
This project is a continuation of my ongoing interest with how we as individuals, as well as entire cultures, tell stories in an attempt to give meaning or expose a greater purpose to our existence. My work investigate various platforms on which we establish those personal, cultural and political narratives
