Móa

Soft and hard, strong and weak. Silent and loud, feminine and masculine. Móa is all of those things - she is everything I lost on my journey to becoming a woman and have been finding again in the recent years. Móa is my daughter and I want her to never fall out of love with herself, or doubt her strength. I worry that soon she will feel pressured to be nicer and softer, like a flower.

“Móa” is a photographic project of a kindred spirit of mine, she is a child, a young female. That I ,her mother, am trying to teach to be her unapologetic self in a society that tells her from every direction that she is to fit in a box that we have become so comfortable putting our girls in.
