We run this mother

Strength and femininity in many societies, mine included, are often deemed as opposites, controversial and oppressed. I wanted to represent women in a position of power, being all strong and confident. But maintaining that touch of femininity and beauty.

This photograph presents my friend as the model, it was shot on the roof of her house. It’s a bit of a challenge to shoot freely in public, as my work is usually considered controversial and goes against the beliefs of the people in my city and the culture of my country in general, so my work is almost shot exclusively on the roofs of my own house or my friends’s.
