Mothers/Daughters is a visual diary that looks at the tension of the natural bond, the challenges of adolescent communication complicated by mental illness. Naturally, motherhood is associated with postitive emotions. The artist challenges this view and draws on alternative reality: sacrifices, loss of identity, mental health implications, career sacrifices, burnout, pressure and expectations. The latter refers to the juggles of self-care to support a child with mental disorders often associated with guilt and self-doubt. This work highlights the importance of providing support and understanding to mothers, recognizing the challenges they face, and offering resources to help manage and mitigate these negative impacts on their mental health.
