Artist Statement
Mother and Daughter photographed in Oaxaca, Mexico, following the annual Day of the Dead parade celebrating all the children who had passed away, it immortalizes a young mother (in her 20s) and daughter (4ish) seated on the stone steps of the local cathedral. Both figures are decked out in festive yet somber (predominantly black) costumes befitting the occasion while tasteful face painting (a simple butterfly on the mother’s chin symbolizing transformation or rebirth) complemented by faux rubies and pearls pasted around their eyes form facial masks that serve as unifying links between mother and daughter. The “flowers” adorning mother and daughter’s headdresses.
