Mother: loving in the passage of time.
This composition of photographs is a visual presentation of an ineffable feeling.
When I slow down and connect with my children, I become more conscious of our ephemerality.
In those moments I experience a collision of the present and time passing.
I am overcome with a love for what is, while grieving the loss of what is still right in front of me.
Motherhood is living in that constant convergence of love and loss,
awe and grief, gratitude and fear while learning how to surrender to the inevitable;
loving in the passage of time.
“These photographs are of my children, not about them.
They involve childhood, but they are of being a mother.
They are not for later as much as they are for now.
They serve as a reminder that now is really all there is.
They are of loving in the passage of time.”
