From the depths of the savannah to the largest megacities, each newborn baby needs a landmark to develop and to learn the skills to survive. This exhibition brings to light the differences and similarities that we observe in mother-child relationships, in both human and wildlife sides. An opportunity to see that we ar not very different : all mothers give love and protection to their little ones. The choice of black and white gives to the reader the opportunity to focus on the action and the subjects, more than on the environment. A neutral background has been set up to facilitate the legibility and staging of the portraits. Through their work, the photographers wanted to pay tribute to the mothers, human or animal, who are real peace activists by transmitting their knowledge and love.
