Timeless

I've always had a fondness for capturing moments when my children are peacefully asleep; my son E is no exception. This passion recently led me on a treasure hunt through our family photo archives, where I uncovered moments of him in his toddlerhood, blissfully tucked in under an old comforter that is long gone.

As I lovingly compiled this series, what struck me was the beautiful consistency in E’s sleeping habits. Even now, as he continues to grow and mature into the tumultuous-tweens, he finds solace in the same familiar comfort of my old comforter pillows, his beloved stuffed beagle, Martha, and his well used and worn baby blanket.

These heartwarming pictures serve as a poignant reminder that, amidst the ever-changing seasons of childhood and motherhood, some things remain timeless.

Welcome to Artifact Motherhood. This is a collaboration of artists from around the world who have come together to share our stories of the joys and struggles of our journey. Through our writings and visual records we want to create memories that are more than photographs with dates written on the back. These are the artifacts we are leaving behind for our children and for generations to come.
