This portrait of my mother is part of the “Hindsight” project by Booooooom, a photography project featuring portraits of people captured in a moment of reflection. Photographers ask their subjects to answer the following question:

“Knowing what you know now, what’s one piece of advice you would give to your younger self?”

My mother: “To compromise but not to settle. And knowing the difference. That compromising is good and essential for harmony, and settling is lethal for the self.”
