Claudia Cebrian
STATEMENT
“Lost in Translation”
I love telling stories with my camera. The stories include mine and other women’ s experiences in good and bad times. I titled this work “Lost in Translation”. It tells the story of women that migrated from various countries, and their experiences of loneliness, solitude, spiritual strength, everyday pressures. Listening to these women inspired me as they showed me how they adapted to different cultures and languages while holding their families together. I shot these photos underwater to emphasize the silence and solitude of the subject.
