Microchimerism

"As a young mother, Eveline approaches the subject with a fresh perspective.

​

We see softness, protection, exhaustion, skin—lots of skin—and light, in a world where a sense of safety becomes tangible. Black-and-white photos flow effortlessly into vivid colors that echo in the scattered toys—a visual style that feels both domestic and vibrant.

​

Alongside the tender portrayal of nursing mothers with hungry babies, there’s often a touch of humor in the way she captures her fellow mothers—and herself. Characteristic details subtly reveal the tension between personal identity and the self-effacement that often comes with motherhood.

 

Her own family is quietly central to the book. Not pushed to the foreground, but always present. Microchimerism has become a sensitive and nuanced book, filled with images that linger long after you’ve seen them."
