Search and reflection based on my experience as daughter and mother. It revolves around the mother figure, the construction of motherhood, an approach to their dilemmas.

What is a mother made of? How to understand her? Where to look for her when she is no longer?

Behind a mother lives a latent one that preceded her and before, centuries of women have marked us in a way of understanding motherhood conditioned by the role of being a “good mother”.

Hilo also speaks about memory, its fragility and fragmentary character. I also question the family photography as guardian of memory in its attempt to witness what has been. I feel the surface of photography, like memory, as a fragile  space in which we only see the trace of the past, but behind it there is another latent space that I want to reach.
