You can be the Dad



‘You can be the Dad’ is an exploration into the role of a mother, particularly the ways in which I feel maternal towards my younger sister, and how motherhood is something that is fluid within my household. It delves into the role of a caregiver, and what happens when the carer constructs a situation in which they become the cared for. It highlights the strength that lies within female dominated households as they fuse together in the absence of a man. I have been utilising this time photographing my sister to relive moments of childhood I feel I have lost, as I see myself in the young woman my sister is becoming.
