Echoes of Laughter

In her latest series Echoes of Laughter, Julia explores the complex emotional landscape of mothering her children into adulthood particularly her significantly autistic son.

The passing of clouds serves as a powerful metaphor for this transition of dependence to independence. The clouds represent the uncertainty and unpredictability of this transition; they shift and change reflecting feelings of joy, nostalgia, fear, and hope that accompany this letting go.

Each cloud captures a moment of introspection—a memory suspended in the air, illustrating the duality of beauty and pain as children grow.
