Pregnancy and gravity, artwork
Pregnancy and gravity. Computer artwork showing how increasing body mass on the front of a womans body during pregnancy - caused by enlarged breasts and the weight of the child - causes the centre of gravity (yellow and black) to move forward. This means there is more weight at the womans front, which causes the body to curve forward, putting greater stress on the spine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Pregnancy and Gravity" by Claus Lunau explores the fascinating relationship between a woman's body during pregnancy and the force of gravity. The computer-generated illustration showcases how the increasing body mass in the front, caused by enlarged breasts and the weight of the child, shifts the center of gravity forward. The vibrant yellow and black lines represent this shift, indicating that more weight is concentrated at the woman's front. As a result, her body curves forward, placing greater stress on her spine. This visual representation highlights one of the physical challenges faced by pregnant women. The white background emphasizes the intricate details of this anatomical artwork while allowing viewers to focus solely on its subject matter. Through this piece, Lunau effectively communicates both scientific and artistic elements. By examining pregnancy from a biomechanical perspective, this artwork sheds light on an essential aspect of motherhood often overlooked or taken for granted. It serves as a reminder that even natural processes like pregnancy can have significant effects on our bodies. Lunau's skillful portrayal invites contemplation about human biology and medicine while celebrating female strength during motherhood. This thought-provoking print prompts us to appreciate not only life's miracles but also acknowledge potential complications that may arise along with them.
