My Mum and Nana are the most important people to me. They raised me and as I am learning to navigate adulthood their lessons come with me. I found my interest for photography from my Mum always taking pictures through my childhood. Plus my Nana’s stories, which she told through her collection of photo albums. This project is a tapestry of three generations: my mother, my nana, and myself and homage to the profound influence these two women have had on my life and my artistic journey. While neither my Mum nor Nana pursued photography professionally, their collections of portraiture and family images speak about our shared history and the bonds that tie us together. Their images narrate not only my life story but also their own.
This series produced in 2024, is now a memorial for my Nana who passed in May of 2026.
