Here you’ll find an unfolding story — of a mother, a woman, in flux.
Composed of written pieces, personal & collaborative photographic works on film, fragmented thoughts...more questions than answers mostly exploring the wild tangled places inside mothering & self.
It’s only over these recent years, since becoming a mother, that Lilian found herself seeking words, furiously scribbling notes, reaching for poetry to make sense of disconnection and rage and grief.
Since then she’s been penning her way out of stuckness and photographing herself towards presence.
She currently lives in a small rice farming village outside of Hoi An town in Vietnam with her young son & husband in a house they made theirs during the pandemic with a rooftop garden where an avocado tree, planted from a leftover seed from an avocado they ate late Summer ‘22, is flourishing.
They’re flourishing too…and wilting & blooming.
