FAREWELL MOTHER

 

Farewell Mother is a series of  photographs which explore Femininity and separation through the triad VIRGIN-WIFE-MOTHER. It is inspired by representations of women in classic iconography and in mythology.

This series gives a vision of Femininity inspired by the women around me and the ways in which they thrive, in their bodies and through their stories.

The action is intimately set in the bedroom belonging to one of these women; a survivor of cervical cancer, she will never be able to give birth. Though physically absent from these images, her presence colors the room through her preciously accumulated objects. Calling on childhood, religion and beauty, they create a dreamlike tension between innocence, seduction and mysticism.
