Since my son left home at the age of 21 to live in an assisted home, the distance between us has increased, both literally and figuratively.
That is why I took my son back to the country where he was born. A search (búsqueda) for his roots, with a bit of hope that it would awaken something in him.
But the chance that you hold a bond with a place you left around your first birthday is a small one.
And it doesn’t get bigger if your body and mind have suffered considerable scars because you were born 14 weeks early.
It wasn’t an easy trip. Often my son was quiet and introverted. I couldn’t figure out what he was feeling or thinking. It made me sad to see him like this. Later he would say, “Mom, I was a little overwhelmed.”
You will see the love that I cherish for my son. It is a journey through Colombia; through the emotional world of a complicated but loving mother-son relationship
Life as it is. A continuous search.
Ingeborg Everaerd is a visual storyteller based in Amsterdam who is drawn to vulnerability and authenticity in her subjects. She likes to photograph people who might not appear to stand out in daily life but carry an emotional or extraordinary story, often not knowing where they belong.
Ingeborg is genuinely interested and sympathises with her subjects. Therefore, they feel they can trust her and allow her into their personal lives. This connection with her subjects makes Ingeborg’s photographs unique and special.
The surroundings where these people live play an essential role in her images. With this work, Ingeborg aims to capture the interest and curiosity of the viewer.
