Rumina

Rumina is a Roman Goddess of breastfeeding and women, Who causes the milk to flow. Her name is related to an old Latin word for breast, rumis or ruma, and translates to "the Nourisher", "She Who Breastfeeds" or "Mother's Breast". Rumina was the protectress of all nursing young, human and animal both.

This transitional moment as either breastfeeder or breastfed is a pivotal moment in the bonding of mother and child. It was this emotionally complex relationship that these documentary photographs attempt to explore.
