Puke Portraits II is a series of 32 self-portraits taken on my phone after being sick during my most recent pregnancy.
I made Puke Portraits while being pregnant with my daughter, B, between 2019 and 2020, as the first time I was sick I looked so horrible that I had to take a photo of myself. I decided to continue this 'tradition' while pregnant with baby X.
I tried to be sick in the same bathroom each time, but it was not always possible and there was a couple of times when I was not sick at home. (I didn't document my actual 32nd time as I was in a completely public space, had vomited into my hands in front of people and just felt really embarrassed.)
After I was sick I would write a diary entry of hashtags.
Below are the hashtags from the 10th time:
