'Together' is a self-portrait of me and my daughter Lana. I wanted to capture this moment of time in my life where my identity as an individual feels non-existent.
My whole life revolves around her.
Everything about me has changed since she was born.
My goals have changed.
My plans for the future have changed.
My taste buds have changed.
My body has changed.
My mental health has changed.
My relationship has changed.
The clothes I wear have changed.
The person I used to be feels alien.
When I think about who I am now, the first thing I think of is Lana. I really can't separate myself from her.
I am not Aimee. I am Aimee and Lana.
As my daughter grows, I will discover my identity again alongside her.
But for now, we are together.
