My Mommy :))
This image at first was one I was not confident in from the start as far as shooting goes. I thought the photos themselves were not dynamic so I decided to collage them with things that were meaningful to me such as fabrics we have all slept with and a sentimental internally iconic photo.

This image is definitely a sentimental one for me. My mom is depicting a classic American trope. A woman to good for this world, a woman of wealth, status, and stature. Not that my mom doesn't have wealth but she is a jeans and a t-shirt kind of woman. But my grandmother on the other hand would have embodied all of that. So in a way this is an homage to my mamour. with her items at the forefront. Not something a viewer would know per say but just a fun secret for myself and family.
