Description
"Reclaiming" is an image from the body of work "Most Importantly, Love Your Mother", a photographic series re-navigating my relationship with my mother in 2018.
This series began as I unpacked how I only know my mother through the role of motherhood. Through this body of work, I continually seek to understand her identity as an immigrant, artist, and friend unconfined to the gender-based constructs of womanhood.
To validate the loss, guilt, and sacrifice of our mothers; in an effort to repay the unfathomable debt bestowed on us as daughters; the absolute least we can do is love her.
Image captured in March 2019 on a Yashica Mat 124G and scanned with a Hasselblad Imacon. Exhibition photos in vision board (photography by Chris Miner) are from the "Most Importantly, Love Your Mother" show in 2020.
