Grand Prize Winner:
Behind Glass is a portrait series documenting 25 mothers and their children experiencing isolation in their homes during the global pandemic and a period of enforced social distancing to control the transmission of COVID-19 in Australia. I have built a practice investigating relationships between mother and child and In this series, I explore my long-held fascination with photographing through windows to frame a subject – a process I have never felt is more poignant than now. Behind glass, mother and child appear like living and breathing masterpieces – divine comedies of domesticity.
