Mariana Zilbershteyn, Resolve (PORTRAIT 2023)

These series of portraits of mum were captured in the back yard at her house in Melbourne. It has been her home for the past 43 years. Ever since we migrated to Australia. The yard is a place she takes pride in. Often spending time feeding the birds or sitting and pondering life and the many personal tragic losses and difficulties she encountered throughout her life. These portraits documents her exhaustion, defiance, strength and resolve to persevere for the sake of her children.
