Annia Moussawel

My identity as woman, artist, and mother has informed my recent work, The Days are Long. This series of photographs centers around my grandmother, mother, daughter, and myself. I examine the complex relationship between mother and child, the individual, and the evolving role of mothers and women over generations in my family. Influenced by the work of photographers like Elinor Carucci, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan, I often collaborate with my subjects, while in other instances the images are the result of my constant observation of gestures, color, and light.
