The Mother of Isolation
My wife, daughter (in stroller), and I went for a family walk at night one time, right? There was this street light that was probably broken, but it gave off this weird, red-orange-ish hue. I told my wife to push the stroller into the light. I captured the shot as soon as she looked down into the stroller. What I aimed to capture was the isolation that a first-time mother might experience once the baby is born. Even if there are people, community, friends that are supporting the mother, it can still be isolating and feel like it's "me and baby" vs. the world. This was my interpretation of that situation
