Description

My mother does not have long to live. After a privileged childhood, her life was one of domestic violence and mental illness. Now, at the end of all things, she has regained control and some internal peace. Her conversation with life has been one of fragility, and yet she has lived to overcome adversity with strength. I wanted to display both these characteristics.
