God’s Gift — “Daughter”

This body of work began as a way to hold on — to time, to tenderness, to the sacred weight of motherhood. As a photographer and a mother, I often find myself caught between two instincts: to live fully in a moment, and to preserve it before it disappears.

Through my daughter, I see the passing of time more clearly than ever — the way childhood glimmers and shifts like light through water. Photographing her is not simply about documenting growth; it’s my way of understanding love, loss, and the fragility of memory. Each image is a quiet act of reverence, a reflection of how motherhood reshapes one’s sense of presence.

This series is my conversation with time — an attempt to reconcile the urgency to remember with the grace of letting go. It’s about the ache and the beauty of watching someone become, knowing that each photograph is both a holding and a release.
