Mother, Mother
Mother, Mother explores the performative nature of the photograph not only as a still image, but as a visual means to express traumatic experiences; to reconsider the relationship we hold with ourselves and the world through creation.
As Susan Sontag states in her essay Regarding The Pain Of Others, “It is passivity that dulls feeling.”. Through this imagery, Cosentino personifies the human struggle between the desire for dependence upon individual who can no longer give and the ultimate quest for autonomy; the act of subconsciously holding on and physically trying to break away.
