Lois & Carey

This series explores the bond between a mother, Carey, and her daughter, Lois, within the familiar confines of their home in London, United Kingdom.

Lois is a queer artist and tattoo artist, and Carey is an artist as well, both are inspired by their Jewish heritage, incorporating Jewish symbols in their arts and crafts.

The home setting, filled with eclectic objects, vintage decor and Jewish symbols, reinforces a sense of history and personal narrative.

The images depict quiet moments and daily routines, revealing the complexities of their relationship, love, nostalgia, and the weight of shared experiences.

Through acts of creation and self-expression, Lois and Carey blur the lines between past and present, tradition and defiance, queerness and legacy. Challenging conventional narratives of femininity, age, motherhood, and intergenerational bonds, this series does not offer easy resolutions—it lingers in the in-between, where intimacy is both tender and enigmatic.
