'In my project, 'Mothers and Daughters' I portray the complex and sometimes challenging relationship between a mother and her daughter. It is both documentary and biographical in nature, as it also illustrates memories of my and my two sisters' relationships with our mother, and even our mother's relationship with her mother.

I chose to work with real mother and daughter pairs in their own environment. They created their own small world together, at the same time, through the staging of the scene, reviving my memories of my own family's relationships.

In the adult relationship the intimacy of the bond is established by the love, struggle and rivalry of a shared lifetime, leading to a mature understanding and acceptance of each other. Between childhood and adulthood, the full spectrum of emotions is played out. My images try to capture all of these very different stages in this extremely special and complicated relationship'.
