| the finished product shows a family, a mother and daught who look nothing alike, because the daughter is mixed and lighter than her black mother. next is a glamour shot of the girl who is fourteen witht he mind of a twenty-four year old. behind her smile is definite pain. last one is the mother, whose shot is beautiful yet contrasting, with cloudy backgrounds and a bright red shirt. deep in her eyes are years built up of lies. the negatives, double-exposed and color-inverted, thrown away when no longer needed. nobody would know the secrets they held. momma's eyes held movies of sheeting rain and police lights, while the younger one holds her arm in pose, the pressure applied holds bandages in place underneath her sweater. hey, who even knows if they're related? - Jacqueline Audrey |
