Special Selection "Gaze" means gazing with all your heart

Winner of the Manazashi Photo Club's second photo contest "Manazashi"
"Gaze" means to gaze with all one's heart

I think so.
If the theme was gaze, I wanted to photograph my eldest son studying hard for his entrance exams.
I think it's because I can see the sincerity in the way they approach their studies every day.

"What I can do"

I always study in the living room. The younger children wear headphones so they don't disturb me.
Even though we don't say anything, the whole family is supporting my eldest son.

After taking the photographs, I realized that I wanted to record not only my son studying, but also the family surrounding him, and my own gaze, frustratingly being unable to do anything but watch his back.

Only 10 days left until my first exam.
I wonder what I can do...
All you have to do is look.
I feel that raising a child is something that parents grow together with the child.

Comment from Advisor

Staring with all your heart. I learned something very good. A mother's gaze is like love and prayer. Gaze gently, and gently adore your child, that's what a gaze is. Thank you for the awareness and the touching moment.
