2025-ONGOING
Mother Wingflap is a photographic exploration and embodiment of my mum, Sara. The work is a collaborative experimentation which celebrates the fierce, protective love of a single mother. Exploring the profound roles that she plays and highlighting the importance that she has held to the little eyes that have watched her. Throughout, a childhood tale is told, created and narrated by my mum, which follows a mother hens’ determination and protective nature to prevent her chicks from harm. I admire the woman that I follow and pay homage to a home filled with fictional worlds, characters and play.
I find myself circling back to an image of my mother at 21, the age that I am now. I reflect on the woman I am becoming and the strength I hope to carry forward, shaped by the unwavering love I’ve received.
