This is a continuation of the series in praise of older women that poses the question as to whether or not our society has reached a moment in time where we can embrace the aging of a woman’s body and the experiences – stories of births, deaths, loves, losses, joys and sorrows – that are etched so gracefully into the folds of her skin. In each of these images a flower has been added to enhance and echo the female form
– symbolic of grace, of beauty, of life’s seasons.
