Are You My Mother? by Brendan Hunt
The dysfunctional relationship that my mother and I share.
From the photographer:
These photographs are the ballad of a young man in search of his mother. They represent a means of externalizing the internal through a visual medium. I am using photography as a therapeutic tool to confront the dysfunctional relationship shared by my mother and I; to investigate her existence and absence in my life until now.
