A Self-Portrait Series

This self-portrait series represents how mothers are always doing something secondary to their passions, how even when they are immersed in a moment for themselves (which, for me, means reading – hence the book), they’ve got something else going in their heads. How we multi-task to keep the home afloat while also losing a bit of ourselves in the process of maintaining this busyness. 

Being “behind the book” also represents the invisible work of motherhood, and the loss of identity when assuming this role.

There will not be any importance spent upon what is in my “other hand” because that takes away from the mother and her passions; it could be anything. Sometimes it might even be silly.

This little project will be further inspiration to my unraveling of what slow living means to me, as well.
