An ongoing documentary collection consisting of candid imagery and self portraits of the artist as mother, and her children as an intimate visual conversation about mother and child, and how these two stages of life are interwoven and a survival of sorts, juxtaposed by the very nature of raising the young as you anticipate the old. An indefatigable connection of parent and offspring, with the crippling clutch of letting go.

Observational in style, and nuanced in the works’ layers, the series transports the viewer through the camera, looking at life - the cycle and the crushing truth that nothing lasts forever - through a feminine gaze intimately tying the audience to a personal but universal narrative. Weaved throughout a conceptual art commentary themes of fertility, ageing, expiry and the shadow of mortality is explored.
