Entry Description: I have met Anna and Eve (mother and daughter) first in 2005 and have been photographing them consistently ever since. They have captured my interest when I first met them, because the boundary between the child and the adult woman was blurred to an unusually high degree. It was often hard to tell who held the power and control between the two, and who was learning the essence of being a human in this world. This project dwells in between fantasy and documentary and represent my interpretation of this real mother-daughter relationship, but through metaphorically staged scenes.
