SUMMARY
Photographer Anastasia Sierra uses her series "The Witching Hour" to explore the complex emotions surrounding motherhood, caregiving, and family dynamics. The project features cinematic images of herself, her aging father, and her young son, creating a dreamlike space to process these experiences. Sierra finds photography to be a powerful medium for articulating mixed feelings and bridging emotional distances, especially when words fail. This work evolved from her earlier project "Bittersweet," which focused on the isolation of early motherhood, and now addresses the more complex reality of her father living with her family.
