![Mother memorabilia - detail]( "Mother memorabilia - detail")
info"Mother memorabilia" is a collection of found objects. The floor findings ground me and my work. For me they are a source of inspiration, process and a work in itself, all at the same time. Power relations are subverted and I let the child lead. They all have attached memories and moments not known to the viewer, an audience can make them their own with their own associations.

![Lost and Found Treasures you give me]( "Lost and Found Treasures you give me")
info"Lost and Found Treasures You Give Me" is a tabloid of digital photographic work. I tend to work on series. The series are an attempt to understand and create a full picture of a frugal moment, a more durable representation. Series make the viewer more active, not only contemplating something but finding relations, similarities, disparities and alienations inside the series itself. In this work I aim to transmit the urgency, repetition, intensity and overwhelming feelings mothering carries within. Chance, spontaneity, rhythmicity are present in the series.

![Series Echoes of Co-existence]( "Series Echoes of Co-existence")
infoEchoes of Co-existence is a grid of 31 analogue mono prints. A piece of garment, a branch, a broken toy, a plastic trophy...I experimented with their uniqueness, softness, fragility, fragmented or torn qualities in an attempt to document the act of bonding between mother and child, like echoes of co-existence. I understand them as a creative embrace.
