On May 13, 2018 in Ukraine, as in many countries of the world, Mother's Day will be celebrated. Clinic "Isida" and photographer Tatyana Klimenko celebrate this holiday with the opening of a unique exhibition in childbirth "Universe. Day One." The exhibition will open on May 13 in the National Botanical Garden named after N.N.

Mother's Day is a special holiday for the Isida clinic, because the work of the entire clinic staff is dedicated to motherhood. The clinic's specialists support the health of expectant mothers from the first days of preparation for pregnancy, take delivery, surround the baby with care during the period of newborn, infancy, early childhood, up to 18 years.

The entire team of the Isida clinic is convinced that every moment in a child's life is unique, but in childbirth, at the moment the baby is born, there is a special mystery of Amazing depth and beauty. It is this attitude to childbirth that has long been formed in the clinic, it was this idea that became the main core of the unique project "The Most Important Day", which was implemented in the Isida clinic for six months. The patients of the clinic became the participants of this project, who told the stories of their childbirth in social networks with the hashtag # isida_the most important day # that very day, who sent their memories by e-mail. At the same time, we invited expectant mothers to take part in the project, agreeing to the presence of photographer Tanya Klimenko in the delivery room.

Photo project “Universe. Day One ”- 184 hours of filming, 10189 shots, 15 touching stories about pregnancy and childbirth. Each woman has her own path to motherhood, her own, completely unique story of the birth of a baby. Pregnancy can be the first, infinitely desired, it can come after long years of waiting or after an in vitro fertilization program at the age of 40 ... The amazing professionalism of photographer Tanya Klimenko, her human qualities, an unusually high level of empathy and the author's view of the miracle of the baby look at each story of motherhood through a single prism - the prism of joy, happiness. And beauty.

All photos were taken in the holy of holies - in the delivery room, and each photo is the strongest feelings and emotions in the holy of holies - in the delivery room, where staging, a script and a second take are impossible. Tanya Klimenko shows the intimate moment of the birth of a little man as honestly, truthfully and at the same time delicately.
