Ugne Henriko is a photographer i have chosen to study due to her project called “mother and daughter”. The whole project on her website is linked here – http://ugnehenriko.co.uk/mother-and-daughter
Ugnes project “Mother and daughter” has inspired me due to the shock i had after looking at the photographs and coming to terms with the insane similarities between them. This project explores a relationship between her mother and herself. Through genetic and characteristic similarities she trying to look into the general idea of being a copy of somebody else. To achieve this she has recreated her mother’s old photographs with herself in them, as a reflection of her. Henrikos aim is not only to show how much they look alike: she is trying to observe what is similar and what is different between two generations.
Here are some images from her project –
