This photo engages the story of motherhood and generational caretaking that extends to the ancestral. Selina (mother), cares for Meleane (daughter), in a subtle, quiet engagement that is actually revolutionary. Seemingly simple acts toward our children, carry incomprehensible power when taken into account the generational trauma inflicted and intense effort made to erase.
