Through My Mother’s Eyes

Adam Tefik

Through My Mother's Eyes maps my own growth through the perspective of my mother, the person who has witnessed it most completely. The series pairs family photographs with objects she has kept from my childhood, tracing a life in accumulated fragments. What began as an exercise in personal nostalgia became something wider: a recognition that our parents grow alongside us, that change is as inevitable for them as it is for us, and that what we choose to keep — photographs, souvenirs, small tokens of time — is its own kind of testimony.
