In this body of work, Emma is unpacking the labyrinth of emotions that accompany the transition into parenthood. She reflects on what is lost: spontaneity, independence, and sense of self, as they dissolve into the all-consuming demands of caregiving.

In the delicate balance of fragility and resilience, Emma has discovered grace in the struggle. This imagery speaks of the silent battles waged within, the triumphs of survival, and the quiet moments of healing. Through layered textures, light, and imperfections, she evokes the dualities of motherhood: its tenderness and exhaustion, its clarity and confusion. This series is both deeply personal and universal. It is an ode to caretakers everywhere—those who create, nurture, and persevere through the quiet unraveling of their own stories.
