Judi Bommarito: Reclaiming Your Outside Voice
Judi Bommarito’s Reclaiming Your Outside Voice is a photographic journey that intimately explores the relationship between a daughter and her mother shaped by the challenges of mental illness. This evocative collection captures the transformative power of photography as a catalyst for healing and understanding. Intricately woven into this visual narrative are the notes her mother leaves behind, like breadcrumbs of emotion, for Bommarito to discover. These handwritten messages form an intimate dialogue, offering insights into her mother’s inner world, her desires, and her struggles. The notes become a poignant manifestation of their emotional connection, transcending the confines of mental illness and affirming the universal need for connection.
Reclaiming Your Outside Voice invites the viewer to witness the journey of a daughter and her mother as they navigate the labyrinth of mental illness, forgiveness, and love. It challenges audiences to confront their assumptions and embrace the resilience that emerges from vulnerability. As viewers immerse themselves in these images and the stories they tell, they may find echoes of their own experiences and a deeper appreciation for the power of compassion, connection, and forgiveness.
