Mothers and Daughters

• Photographer
  Rohina Hoffman

The complexity of being a mother to a daughter is profound. As she moves forward with the tenderness of youth and the vigor of what is to be, I begin the slow march of redefining not only our relationship, but also reconstructing who I am and my role as a mother. As a participant observer, that of being a mother and an artist, I seek to understand this journey by photographing mothers and their teenage daughters at that critical precipice when both parties move into uncharted territory.
