Here I am,
As a self portrait.
My mother and my grandma,
As a reflection of me.

This piece is made from a photograph of my mother as a young girl and my grandmother. It reimagines self portraiture through cherished figures. I am the descendant of these women and their presence reflects my identity and upbringing. The way in which my mother, seen here as a young girl, turns her back to the viewer, drawing attention to my grandmother and her joyful expression. Her gaze invites the audience into this special moment.
