Colors of Mothers, The

by Gaetano La Rosa, Teresa Carreño

A geographical atlas of maternity, The Colors of Mothers offers a culturally plural reading of the delicate and sensual physical relationship between mother and child. Moved by her own experience of motherhood, photographer Teresa Carreno portrays the transformation of a multiethnic body during pregnancy and the event of giving birth, echoing an analogy with ancient cults of the Mother Goddess.
