"A series of self-portraits in which I wear my mother’s clothing to draw closer to her presence.
Through her garments I explore doubts and silences, recognizing her not only as a mother, but as a woman. In these symbolic spaces I work with memory, care, and also inherited trauma.
This project is both homage and revision: a way of saying I see you, I carry you with me, and I’m learning to carry myself differently.
With this work I want to acknowledge that mothering is an imperfect act, full of doubts and difficult choices, but profoundly human."
