Mother
‘Mother’ explores the solidarity, strength and love in womanhood and the feelings that come along with aging and growing up as women, due to societal pressure and the media, from different women’s perspectives. Shown through a zine series featuring honest, reflective conversations and raw photographs with five mother daughter duos aiming to inspire and celebrate self-expression in all women no matter what age you are. This is a window into the intimacy of the family home and what being and raising strong women is.
The five zines representing each mother daughter duo in various formats, binding and colours.
