Motherhood: The Birth Of A New Identity

An artist's perception by Prabuddha Ghosh


It's known that motherhood has a deep impact on all layers of a human. The oldest phenomenon in the race of humanism includes all impressions of psychological, philosophical, physical, behavioral, emotional and in professional canvas too.


Motherhood itself is not a new concept. In fact, it's timeless, universal, eternal and whether you get there by giving birth, adopting or via surrogacy, the description is the same. And yet this is the key of existence and secret of civilization. How we perceive mothers as mothers or the means of motherhood and the role of it; are really complicated and ever-changing.

Attachment is the prime issue and factor of motherhood, with the birth of the new baby she takes birth as a new mother, what she was not before that day, that time... that instance. The mother’s attachment state shapes the way she organizes her thoughts, feelings and memories of herself and others in relationship with her. These are internal working models and an intense reorganization of identity, leading to reflections on the way the woman herself was parented and all in a complete new way with some added new identity, more strong and flexible ... existence of togetherness...

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh

To speak of him merely as a photographer is to understate the scope of his engagement. He is, more precisely, a witness to India’s becoming—its fractures, its continuities, its silences, and its eruptions.
