Groundhog Day

Through direct gaze, this self portrait captures a moment of interruption in an ordinary day. There is an emphasis on distance between spaces and yet a claustrophobic and chaotic sense of what home is and how a mother fits into the narrative.

About Artist

Alex Eischeid

Her work draws from her experiences as a woman and a mother, using the self portrait as both subject and symbol to explore identity, expectation, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending surreal elements with emotional realism, her images exist somewhere between the familiar and the imagined, creating narrative driven scenes that invite genuine introspection. Beyond her photographic practice, Alex is an educator who teaches both online and in person, with a focus on conceptual photography, creative editing, lighting, and intentional storytelling.
