Following the birth of my twins in 2017, this series explores how motherhood and the resonance of shared sensitivity quietly reshape the boundaries between selfhood and care.
In 2017, following the birth of my twins, the boundaries of my existence began to dissolve. Motherhood brought immense joy, but also an unrelenting closeness that gradually eroded the distance through which I once understood myself.
I turn to photography not to document family life, but to trace the shifting threshold between care and selfhood. Working with analogue film, I release the shutter only when I can fully locate myself within the moment. The camera allows me to navigate the overwhelming intimacy of daily life and momentarily recover a sense of my own presence.
Through light and shadow, these images register a state of fluctuation. Forms emerge and recede, dissolving into brightness or sinking into darkness. Over time, I came to understand that the self I believed lost had not disappeared, but had been reshaped through touch, repetition, and closeness.
This work inhabits a fragile space where separation and connection continuously coexist. It is within this unstable balance that I continue to search for myself—not outside motherhood, but somewhere within and alongside it.
Selected works are available as limited edition archival pigment prints.
