ANCESTRY invites viewers into a layered world where memory, mysticism, and maternal love shape the path to self-discovery. Set against both constructed and natural landscapes, the photographs offer visual poems about becoming. At its center is the mother: a powerful, guiding force who holds space for her son’s evolution. Tasked with caring for others while protecting her own, she becomes a bridge - between past and present, between body and spirit.
Through the mother’s presence, the son learns to see himself not just through skin but through soul. To listen inward. To remember. To bloom.
