Through My Mother's Eyes

Through My Mothers Eyes explores one of the most rewarding and fulfilling feelings life has to offer, unconditional love and its impact. Photographic storytelling through the medium of scrapbooking has not only been used as a creative outlet, but in my mother’s case, a way to remind our remaining family of the life that we all shared together. Grief is not only a complicated topic, but an experience of life that is often pushed away from our day-to-day conversations. The difficulty of this subject was exactly why I was drawn to it. I wanted to change my own narrative of something so personal and melancholic into something uplifting; something to honor my mother’s life’s work. My aim with this project was not only important to me on a personal, familial level, but it was to help other’s that find themselves stricken with grief to find the importance in holding those fond memories and heirlooms close.
