Nu este un pictorial de moda, asa ca nu incercati sa aflati ce marca este sortul de bucatarie sau salopeta de gradinar. “She Can Leap Tall Buildings” este un proiect al fotografei, stilistei si jurnalistei de moda Heidi Lender.
Artista si-a dorit sa aduca un omagiu mamei ei, dar si tuturor femeilor din lume care le fac pe toate si le fac si bine. Heidi intruchipeaza cu ajutorul unei peruci negre toate rolurile pe care le are o femeie, o mama.

Iata si o scurta explicatie de pe blogul autoarei:
I was in seventh grade in the 1970s when my mother went back to work. It was a traumatic event in my tween lifetime, returning from school to an empty house, my best friend suddenly absent with a plateful of priorities other than me. Mom played the roles of wife, mother, daughter, income-earner, independent-thinker, hostess, dinner-maker, family accountant, homework tutor and household organizer without a bat of her mascara’d eyelashes. Preoccupied with growing up, I was oblivious to this amazing juggling act.
But from my adult woman perspective, it seems a heroic and near-impossible feat – not to mention a struggle. And, yet, mom did it in style. She never left the house without lipstick and liner, her hair teased and sprayed just so, and kept her standing appointment at the beauty parlor each Friday. My mother wasn’t perfect, but whether driving carpool, volunteering or planning trips, she played it all effortlessly, nary a complaint or sign of stress, and passed on her capabilities to me.
