Over 100.000 caesarean births are performed each year in Spain. Approximately half of them are unnecessary. For this series, created in collaboration with the Association "El Parto es Nuestro" (http://www.elpartoesnuestro.es) I photographed over twenty women that had cesarean sections. Some of them did not dare to look or show their scars before becoming part of this project.
I realized that under each scar there was always a story to be told. This series and a few selected testimonies have just been compiled in a new book called "CESÁREA, más allá de la herida" published by Ob Stare (http://www.obstare.com) ISBN 978-84-937526-3-7.
