Caregiver

Silhouette of a square form dedicated to my mother. I wanted to embrace and talk about how I perceived my mother as a child. My mother always wore large ponchos and denim skirts, often a skirt over pants. She seemed monumental to me, I felt protection and support, hence I created a poncho that is stiff, reminiscent of an armor that gives shelter. I used materials that I got from her a very long time ago, they are materials from my grandmother, my mother's mother. The monumentality and hardness of the silhouette is meant to symbolize my respect for the Mother who protects.
