Heidi Lender създава една от най -прекрасните оди за майката. В серия
от фотографии тя сама играе ролята на жената с черна перука ,
която се занимава с всекидневните си женски задължения - готови храна, ходи на
покупки, разхожда детето.
Хайди разказва, че е била в 7-ми клас, когато майка и
се върнала на работа и това било голям за нея - да се връща всеки ден от училище в къщи и да не вижда своята майка там.
"I was in seventh grade in the 1970s when my mother went back to work.
It was a traumatic event in my tween lifetime, returning from school to
an empty house, my best friend suddenly absent with a plateful of
priorities other than me. Mom played the roles of wife, mother,
daughter, income-earner, independent-thinker, hostess, dinner-maker,
family accountant, homework tutor and household organizer without a bat
of her mascara’d eyelashes. Preoccupied with growing up, I was oblivious
to this amazing juggling act. But from my adult woman perspective, it
seems a heroic and near-impossible feat – not to mention a struggle.
And, yet, mom did it in style. She never left the house without lipstick
and liner, her hair teased and sprayed just so, and kept her standing
appointment at the beauty parlor each Friday. My mother wasn’t perfect,
but whether driving carpool, volunteering or planning trips, she played
it all effortlessly, nary a complaint or sign of stress, and passed on
her capabilities to me.
As I move through my own grown-up life with a mountain of
responsibilities, I humbly nod to all the superwomen of the world,
especially my mother, who amazingly do it all."
