About
Mummy Dearest explora la relación madre e hija, cuestionando el impulso narcisista por propagar la materia genética de uno y el instinto femenino por intentar entenderse a través de la figura materna.
En esta serie de fotografías, Marion Sosa sacrifica su propia identidad y la rindo ante la obligación de ser alguien quien no es. A través de esta reflexión, ella cuestiona su individualidad, identidad, y sanidad al convertirse en lo que su familia espera de ella; ser exactamente igual que su madre.

Mummy Dearest explores mother-daughter relationships by questioning the narcissistic impulse to propagate one's genetic material and the female instinct to attempt to understand herself through the maternal example.
In this series of photographs, Marion Sosa sacrifices her real self and surrenders to the obligation to be someone she is not. In doing so, she must question her own individuality, identity, and sanity by becoming the expectation that her family always had of her: to be just like her mother.
