Mother and Child



The bond between Mother and Child is that of unconditional Love - tenderness, patience, hope, joy- a Love with no boundaries; no limits.
I wanted to use this image to convey the stark reality of AIDS - a deadly, heartbreaking disease which leaves many children without a parent, and many parents without their child.
The red ribbon is to bring awareness about the virus, in the hope that more lives can be saved and less hearts broken.

My idea was to make an image of a camera, using photographs taken by the camera to create the actual piece; Like the camera is creating it's own image through taking pictures of itself.The photographs are all taken of different parts of the camera, and arranged together to make the larger image visible.

I used close-up photos as a way of braking down the object into components, and then recreating the image. I used the programme 'Image-mosaic' to create and separate the different tones of each individual photo .
