Featured project
A stillborn baby usually leaves emptiness. FamousGrey, non-profit organisation Berrefonds and the University Hospital of Ghent have changed that. Their campaign, Shortest Lives, offers comfort to parents of stillborn babies with an audiovisual reproduction of their child’s heartbeat that is currently only stored visually for medical reasons. Hearing a baby’s heartbeat for the first time is a magical moment. But for parents who lose their unborn baby, the sound of the heartbeat can remain a vague memory. For many parents, this makes the profound loss even more difficult. The heartbeat is created into an emotive and living memory of their baby. First it is captured by a sound engineer based on echocardiograms. Then it is built into a video based on an ultrasound, which represents life. It visualises the stillborn’s heartbeat in a unique way using layers of data stored throughout the pregnancy such as the duration, the sex of the baby and the date of birth.
