I came across these images and was immediately taken by it. Amazing story telling by pairing the mother and her children, every frame tells an every expanding social issue we have.
Not your average lovey-dovey mother and child story, and I am one person who believes that plenty of parent-child relationship is built on aggressiveness, obsessiveness, over-protection, double standard and into a way darker side we could not imagine.

I can be fat, but you must be perfect.
You are my hopes and dreams. You cannot fail.

I’m your mother. I’m the queen. You are my children. You are chained to me.

You move as I said. You stay as I said.

The world is a dangerous place. You need to be covered and be protected.

I can be hot and sexy, but you must be prim and proper.
Worship me.

The picture captions are my own. That is exactly how the pictures make me feel.

The water is too dangerous, we shall play at the backyard.
You can row a boat here.
The world is too dangerous, I’m here for you.
Whether you are 15, 25, or 45, I’m still watching you.

Is that love, or possessiveness?
Is that protection, or insecurity?

I think this is just amazing. And very strong.
