Big Heart, Strong Hands
This is the story of the older women on Kihnu and Manija islands. Often viewed as Europe’s matriarchy, the women take care of almost everything. I have photographed their daily lives, their clothing, bedrooms and farmhouses and the surroundings. My book is published in 2020 by Dewi Lewis Publishing.
