Honorable Mention
First born
He is maddeningly like me, bringing all the things I don’t like about myself into a bright flash of light. He is completely different, impossible to understand. My first born. The one who got the most raw version of me as a mother. A boy who relates to the world as a beautiful and hostile place. I often feel the closeness between us break. Then I pick up my camera and photograph him. To put the distance of a photograph between us in order to find that closeness again. We never spoke about it, but I think he knows. Slowly it has become a collaboration, a bridge we are building together. Shot on Ilford HP5 with an Olympus OM-1.
