Description
The ongoing photographic project focuses on the journey of a pregnancy of Nagakura Nami, a single mother I met in Japan, who I perceived to be an embodiment of female strenth and equality, directly and symbolically associated with mother nature. As much as it was a personal project I believe there was also something very human—the way that we bonded and reflected one another, organically without many labels attached, the inner strength she demonstrated, the feeling that life was always present and love was around. I felt a constant undercurrent of mystery, awe and connectedness during the process. The soon to be finished photographic book of the project touches upon these topics with visual storytelling through this micro lens. It is also largely inspired by Japanese mythology, and aims to underline female empowerment and compassion, and their relevance to the world we currently inhabit.
