Lydia Goldblatt's Fugue intertwines mothering, loss, intimacy through images and words, complementing her past project exploring intense emotions post her fatherâs death.
Goldblatt's reflective writing explores the cultural void around complex emotions, aiming to saturate them with vivid expression, influenced by her family's dynamics amidst lockdown and overwhelming motherhood.
The book delves into Goldblatt's journey of motherhood, loss of her own mother, and the weight of responsibly clearing her mother's house, capturing the fragile balance between caring for children and personal reflection.
After her mother's passing, Goldblatt found solace in photography, portraying a range of emotions from claustrophobia to love, symbolized by the slow, deliberate process of capturing images on medium-format film.
