As I pondered through my thoughts, ideas and what I wanted to achieve from creating Do you see me?, I started to look outwards to the people around me. I suddenly became more aware of the challenges that people around me were facing and the strength they harnessed from these experiences.
As a second instalment to Do you see me?, I decided to create a piece dedicated to a group of five women, mums, who I have come to know and admire. Five women (6 including myself) with different backgrounds who have come together for a common cause – to support one another through a new phase in their lives – motherhood.
Hold my hand, the second instalment in the diptych Under the Water Line, reminds us of the unspoken words and invisible hand reaching out to us when we least expect it.
