This is an ongoing visual diary of my daughter, Kaia. It is a collection of spontaneous moments, captured on a smartphone, documenting her journey from her first steps to the present day.
The goal of this work is to create a complete portrait of a child without ever revealing her face.
In an era of total digital exposure, this project serves as a response to the tension between sharing and safeguarding. By centering on Kaia’s environment and her spirited nature, I seek to bottle the essence of her childhood while protecting her anonymity. It is a study of the line between photographer and parent: how much of her can I reveal as a storyteller, and how much must I protect as a mother?
