The purpose of my project “National Good” is to address society’s perception of mothers. There is a lack of trust in the people that are responsible for children. Because I am a mother myself, I wanted to draw
attention to the way that mothers are valued by other mothers, fathers, friends, and even worse, the way they are valued (or not valued) by the government. This evaluation ends up creating division between mothers. This series also explores how to raise an independent and sensitive man, and the need for self-realization for mothers, which has to be constantly negotiated. In the three years since my son was born, I’ve formed relationships with other women I’ve met and taken pictures of them. These are primarily staged photographs because I wanted to recreate a specific situation or relationship that I observed before I photographed them.
