A collaboration between artist Brittni Bell Warshaw, photographer Noa Nguyen, and Ari Warshaw (Brittni's four-year-old daughter).

Composed of twenty-one individual artworks in a three-by-seven grid, the work forms one continuous story. Each panel can also stand alone or connect with others to create new narratives—a reflection of the many ways motherhood is lived and the shared emotion that links us across differing paths.

The process began with Noa's honest motherhood portraits, forming the foundation for Brittni's painted response. Acrylics, oil pastels, and printed photographs on bamboo washi paper merge into one textured surface, holding both warmth and weight—echoes of fleeting, tender moments. Ari added spontaneous marks that interrupt and expand the adults' instinct for control, calling us back to the unpredictability and immediacy of early motherhood—where creation and chaos collide.

This collaboration holds space for the complexity of motherhood and womanhood: its beauty, tension, quiet resilience, and loss. It reflects the layered, shifting experience of early motherhood—a time defined as much by love and discovery as by struggle and transformation.

Feel the movement between who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming.

With deep gratitude to the Mothers and Children whose presence and stories shaped this journey — especially Inna, Sofia, Dhisha, Fumi, Capucine, Gloria, Lauren, Kathleen, Laerke, and Eberly.
