Exploration of intimacy between a parent and child, and our acceptance of our parents for who they are not who we want them to be.
As the covid pandemic rolled over the world, many of us found ourself going back to basics and spending more times with our families. I started photographing my project in April, while we were still in complete lockdown in South Africa, because I wanted to document beautiful healing between a mother and her adult daughter. I started exploring same "story" in other mother/father connections, discovering the impact it had on my own family life and on my audience. There is no groundbreaking story occurring in the work I collect, but for myself I understood the significance and value of connection to our family and how it shapes us for the rest of our life.
