internationally renowned photographer Annie Wang, from Taipei City, Taiwan, decided early on that the stereotypical image of a single mother and child wasn’t going to work for her. Her series ‘The Mother As A Creator‘ is an attempt to represent the fusion of artist and mother, portraying her and her son in various layers as he grows up. “Here I take a family photo each year of my son and myself, and then the next year, take another image of us in front of the previous picture,” she explains.
“Therefore, different layers of my son and I emerge on the same surface after a lengthy accumulation of detail and texture. Different stages of my son and I are overlaid, and from the different mom and children photography pieces, we have created a dialogue with each other in this dimension upon compressed dimension. From within these dimensions will emerge a new depiction/visualization of Motherhood.”
