trauma
In my Mother's Absence (Axis of Light Group Exhibition)
images
description
This body of work encompasses a ten month photographic study of spaces that are in a state of transition, abandonment, or rebirth. This work also coincides with the passing of my mother. In this way these images serve as a visual representation of this experience with parts one, two, and three expressing my states of being before, during, and after this trauma.
The traumatic experience of losing my mother has reshaped my physical and metaphysical approaches to the world, as well as my place within it. It has subtly redirected my photographic practice by presenting me with new subjects and ideas to explore. This work is a study of embodiment within the space left by my mother's absence.
