"You are my Mother" is an exploration of the complex and intricate bond between a mother and child. Through quiet contemplation and meditation, this project invites the audience to delve into the emotional intimacy that exists between these two vital figures. The work poses the question of how our relationship with our mothers shapes us as adults and asks whether we are capable of accepting our mothers for who they truly are, rather than who we may wish them to be. This project is a tender and intimate reflection on the power of motherhood and the impact that it has on our lives, encouraging us to examine our own experiences and consider the role that our mothers have played in shaping the individuals we have become.
The ongoing project, which began during the pandemic in 2020, focuses on showing commonalities in relationships between mothers and their children from diverse communities and socio-economic backgrounds around the world. One of the aims is to highlight the shared human experiences of motherhood that transcend cultural and geographical boundaries.
