Nostalgic Mountains – Mother-in-law's Advice

Part of Huang Tse-hsiu's "High Mountains, Ancient Affections"? series, the documentary photo is full and natural. In the portrait format, the subjects— two indigenous women in the village of Jiayang (Slamaw), a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law—are squatting on the ground and talking. The woman on the center-right, wearing a white blouse, black pants, and a gray headscarf, head turned to the left, is the daughter-in-law, the work's main subject. Behind her, the mother-in-law, an older woman with facial tattoos, fills out the background. The women's quiet interaction adds a vivid, emotional quality to the work, a touching portrayal worthy of careful appreciation.
