In many ways, in ‘You Are My Mother’ I constructed a safe, emotionally expressive world that I could observe from a distance. All these emotions that for me were not safe to feel, all this intimacy that didn’t exist in my childhood. It is no exaggeration to say that each person I photographed helped me to find and reconcile aspects of myself that had long been neglected.

"You Are My Mother" became a journey of healing for me. 💫  Through the lens, I explored emotions I couldn't safely feel as a child, finding  acceptance and reconciliation in the process.  Each portrait became a mirror reflecting back long-neglected parts of myself.  #photography #healing #selfdiscovery #YouAreMyMother
