I got married, I had a child.
Day after day, at almost the same time, I do the same things.
The repetition continues.

My life revolves around my family.
I play the role of ‘mother.’

I begin to feel as if I am disappearing, as if I am no longer myself.
The love of my family brings me peace and a steady life.
Yet, at the same time, a growing sense of restlessness and monotony.

So I take photographs.
Mechanically, objectively, as if to confirm my own existence.
Today, just like yesterday.
