Artist Statement
The past two years have changed my life. My transgender teenage son has been battling severe mental health issues that began in the pandemic and have continued. We made the incredibly difficult decision to send him away to treatment, and he has not lived with us for a year. Mothering is not something you can plan for, you can only be in the moment and embrace. For all the challenges, this experience has shaped me into a more empathetic and flexible person, comfortable with change. Creating self-portraits in my son’s empty room has helped me explore my emotional state, and process the overwhelming feelings.
