Commissioned by Refinery29 for their feature ‘29 Photographers On Capturing the Current Moment’ during the first Covid Lockdown in 2020.

The work was meant to reflect on the new realities emerging in the wake of a global pandemic and our collective life shift.

“My greatest source of support throughout all of this uncertainty has been my mother.
She is my purest example of unconditional and selfless love.
I feel as though these circumstances can be very revealing of peoples priorities and demonstrative of the true colors of relationships.
It has given me an opportunity to see very clearly the relationships that are precious to me, the ones that are integral to a life well lived. Right now I can really feel those core relationships shining brightly back at me.
My mother has been the definition of this for me, she meets me with patience, understanding and compassion. She has provided for me an example of how to be better.
There was a poem that I read recently by Lynn Ungar -

“Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down."

For me that means time spent with my mother while I have the gift of her presence.’
