CRISTINA MORA

My Mother, My Self  is a series documenting the relationship between my mother and me. In this work, we explore our perceptions of each other through religion, culture, and womanhood. Throughout making these photographs, we uncovered our differences and similarities. Through photographing, and the conversations that accompanied it, I got a better sense of her life experiences. This series is a testimony to our lineage, culture, and experiences. Through the discourse of womanhood, vulnerability, and faith, I explore and create a comprehensive view of intimacy and the growing relationship between mother, daughter, and God.
