Parenthood Series

The essence of modern parenthood is not bound by blood but by the profound bonds of belonging, love, and emotional intimacy. My project, merging "You are my Mother" and "You are my Father," probes the heart of parenthood today. It transcends traditional roles, embracing the diverse, evolving facets of what it means to be a parent. Amidst changing societal norms and expectations, we navigate the intricate dance of personal desires and the primal need for connection. Parenthood now offers a spectrum of experiences, reflecting our time's rich possibilities for family life beyond conventional definitions.
