Susan Lemke, Mother Ties (PORTRAIT 2024)

Taken from each of their perspectives, this project explores the complexities of the deep interwoven connections between mother and child and how they dramatically evolve as children reach adolescence. The growing freedom of the mother, the growing freedom of the child, at conflict with their innate co-dependency and intricate ties developed from conception.
