This series explores the emotional landscape of mothering in all its complexity: the heartbreak, the surrender, the joy, and the moments of clarity that arrive unexpectedly. It is not a portrayal of idealised motherhood but an examination of the messy, intimate, and transformative process of becoming, and unbecoming, through care.

At its core, Mother is an inward journey. A quiet, introspective passage into self-discovery. The landscapes in these images reflect that inner world: strange, disorienting, and haunting, yet also sacred, enchanted, and alive with memory, instinct, and myth.

These underwater photographs hold the feeling of a dream. They are not records of domestic ritual, but symbolic encounters, fleeting, submerged, and powerful, like a memory rising from the depths.

Shot with a broken Nikonos II, a camera once used for war reporting and colonial underwater exploration, the series also serves as an act of reclamation. By embracing the flaws, leaks, and accidental distortions of the medium, and by allowing the ocean itself to leave its mark, I reframe how we relate to nature, the body, objects, and the stories we’ve inherited.
