Heart Broken: 42 years of marriage

Mum 39 days since surgery. Dad 31 months since surgery. Now they both have experienced pain opening their heart -literally- while struggling to find peace and forgiveness for a life full of contradictions. Their younger daughter behind the camera witnessing the imminent silence in yet another crucial moment in their lives.
Women hold attention in my work. In a personal journey to embrace my own femininity and my insatiable curiosity about human emotions, I started using the camera as my main creative tool. To listen, to know and to respect these women is of great importance. This display represents a brave attempt to show the material I have cherished and shyly dropped under the bed for its tremendous subjectivity.
