Vero Mora Noya (Ribes de Freser, 1982) is a nurse and a photographer. She trained in the ERAM School of Photography and subsequently carried out complementary studies in therapeutic and participatory photography at Instituto 8. This dual background, in healthcare and art, and her firm conviction in the power of images as tools for connection, expression, and guidance throughout the stages of life, determine and perfectly encapsulate her work.

“Osses” (Mother Bears) is a tribute to the female caregivers who at a certain time in their life must give up this duty to be cared for instead: a change of role that entails living through a silent transition from independence to dependence, which the photographer approaches with particular care and respect to highlight the fragility, dignity, and beauty of the bodies that are experiencing this process that is never easy or sufficiently visible.
