UK-based artist Alma Haser presents her first solo exhibition at Candela, featuring monumental silks, intimate photographic prints, and accompanying texts that draw viewers into the layered emotional and physical realities of motherhood.

Tired, Warrior, Defeated, In Love. examines motherhood as a state of constant transformation, embodying an experience that is tender, consuming, euphoric, exhausting, and deeply multifaceted. Over extended periods of time, Haser has photographed a series of mothers before returning to the images through processes of fragmentation, extraction, and layered fabric printing within her documentation practice. The resulting works construct a visual language that reflects motherhood not as a singular identity, but as an ongoing process of becoming.

A series of these large-scale fabric works suspended in the gallery moves fluidly between feelings of intimacy and overwhelm. A series of photographic prints traces the daily rhythms of care, touch, sacrifice, exhaustion, and connection. Across the work, bodies stretch and merge, time folds in on itself, and the boundaries between mother and child become increasingly blurred.

Haser approaches these experiences with both vulnerability and playfulness, resisting idealized depictions of domestic life in favor of something far more honest, layered, and emotionally charged.
