The Moment You Were Gone

Born from a long-standing visual dialogue between mother and daughter within the intimacy of home, The Moment You Were Gone is a reflection on the delicate tension between closeness and separation, as my daughter moves from adolescence into womanhood.

Through photography and polymer gravures, I explore the shifting nature of our bond and the asymmetry of perspective that emerges through a period of self-discovery, boundary-setting, overflowing emotions, and quiet battlegrounds.

The work is, in many ways, an attempt to slow down the process of my daughter leaving me. Through the intuitive act of photographing and the slow, deliberate process of transforming images into photopolymer gravures, I seek to linger a little longer in a moment that is already slipping away.

The images dwell in the space between holding on and letting go, at the threshold of change, where continuity exists alongside the disappearance of what once was.
