Reconciliation

My project "Reconciliation" visually explores the transformation of my relationship with my mother. 

When I was seven years old my parents divorced, my mother was having an affair, and because of that there was a falling-out between us and I developed resentment towards her. I lost respect and trust for her, leading me to believe our relationship could not be healed. Silence filled our home and we were never the same.

After a few years, my mother began to date another man who changed her perspective on life and pushed her to make amends with me. 

The Covid-19 lockdown allowed us to talk and take the first steps to move forward. The act of photography allowed me to heal old wounds which helped me reconnect my relationship with my mother.
