Skin to Kin
Skin to Kin / #002 / BP / 8w / 19.11 / biological-nurturing, 2025, fine-art print on Hahnemühle paper 42 x 59,4
Skin to Kin traces the tender imprint left on a parent’s naked body after holding their child skin-to-skin. These marks record one of our body’s first languages of care, warmth, pressure, breath, where physical connection shapes the foundations for emotional life. This intimate exchange challenges expectations around attachment and autonomy by showing that independence grows only through dependence. Skin to Kin insists that embodied caregiving is not sentimental excess but vital labour, quietly building the empathy and resilience on which communities rely.
This is a still growing body of work.
