Self Series: Mother

As women, our awareness of self – of being other than just human – begins when we are just girls. We are expected to be strong, but gentle. Wise, but not overly opinionated. Assertive, but quiet. Busy, but not overwhelmed.

Being a woman, is a coexistence of contradictions.

And our existence is historically defined by how we measure up to our male counterparts. And while we may never be “equal” to men, we are equally as valuable.

This series explores the contradictions and feelings of fragmentation that comes being a woman. Of being a wife, a mother, a human in today’s society.
