As a young woman the relationship between my mother and grandmother had always greatly influenced my identity. For as long as I could remember, their relationship had been tumultuous and full of resentment toward one another. I always found myself acting as a bridge between them, being pulled both ways, and manipulated into picking sides. When I started this project they hadn't spoken directly to each other in nearly a decade.
During the production of this project I began to understand each of us as individuals and the complicated relationship between the two women who had made such a large impact on my life. I always drew strength from their unconditional love and support and have been empowered by their ability to persevere through extremely trying times. This work provided them with an opportunity to communicate in a new way and brought them back together through their mutual support for me. They spoke for the first time in years and started to slowly mend their relationship.
