HOOYO AMA HOY?

HOOYO AMA HOY? is an intimate portrait of legacy, labor, and love, all held in the worn grace of a mother's hands. The image captures not the face, but the essence: fingers creased by time, palms weathered by work, resting in quiet reflection.

There’s a story etched into every line, of meals prepared, tears wiped away, prayers whispered, and children raised. These hands have held and released, created and comforted. Without fanfare, they carry generations, the unsung rituals of motherhood spoken not through words, but through touch.

Softly lit and grounded in stillness, Mother Tongue honors the universal language of care. It is a tribute to the unseen, the everyday, and the enduring power of a mother’s touch.

Photographed by Rahma Bulaleh and printed on museum-quality archival paper, Mother Tongue is available as a limited edition print, hand-signed and numbered.
