This painting portrays the pain that can last more than a year due to post-partum complications. What no one warns about is a rare condition called Pubic Symphysis, an injury sustained during childbirth. The soft tissue that connects our pubic bones, which allows for flexibility during birth, sometimes stretches too far, causing intense, prolonged pain.

The softness of our bodies and souls enables us to achieve incredible things, but pushing these limits can also lead to suffering. Yet, the world often overlooks the struggles and only sees the beauty that softness brings.
