Mary Mary
These images are a selection taken from the book 'Mary, Mary'. This is Mary's first project that uses Therapeutic Photography to express a semi-autobiographical account about her own generational trauma within the darkest part of Irish history that put the financial needs of the catholic church over the wellbeing of mothers and their children from 1921-1996. This project researches the story of Mary's Mum and her forced adoptee sister, beginning a journey of self discovery and forgiveness. Mary focuses on the Irish landscape where many family units were destroyed, creating the largest diaspora of Irish people, many of whom have never fully recovered or returned to their homeland.
Mary, Mary is a 'photovoice' project for victims and survivors of ‘The Mother and Baby Homes’ Scandal.
