My mum took it on herself to be a protector. It’s all I’ve known, to be around someone who raised me but has also protected me from a lot of nonsense. I wanted to push that with my photos – what motherhood means to me, and what it means to other people. It’s not just my story, it’s a universal story.

Lea inhabits Gabriel Moses’ powerful vision of motherhood in a limited edition photographic print.
Through Moses’ lens, Lea embodies a protector. Delicately dressed in white with a rifle slung over her shoulder, she is the guardian of her child, soon to be born. The vision for this photograph emanates from the photographer's own upbringing – raised by a powerful single mother in South London.
Lea (2024) belongs to the series Regina, a photographic tribute by Moses to the women who have and continue to shape his world.
