The subject of homecoming is no stranger to photographer Lisa Sorgini. Her work has connected women, mothers, and children from all around the world. Lisa’s distinctive photography is both romantic and real, showing the many faces of being a mother. Her play on light and dark is reminiscent of Dutch Old Master paintings, with a strong focus on colors and depth. In our overview exhibition, we’re focusing on work from her latest book Behind Glass, on modern motherhood.
Lisa Sorgini
“Growing up in a largely dysfunctional and far from perfect family I have always felt sensitive to the fact that trauma and grief can co-exist alongside deep love and care. As an artist, I am also aware of the fact that my intentions for the work can only translate so far and everyone will experience them individually based on personal experience.”
