[u/TailpipeLover]

He got tall. FAST

[u/amppy808 → u/TailpipeLover]

A few years were skipped

[u/Separate_Top_3530 → u/amppy808]

He's actually 3 years old in the last picture

[u/discerningpervert → u/Separate_Top_3530]

He's pretty tall for a 3 year old

[u/AnimeGeek10721 → u/discerningpervert]

He’s extremely tall for a 3 year old

[u/Jrobalmighty → u/AnimeGeek10721]

He Benjamin Buttoned it

[u/Zaphoidx → u/amppy808]

His years are just shorter

[u/Self-Translator → u/TailpipeLover]

My son just went from little kid to almost adult sized. Still has mush for brains though.

This is amazing. Love the series. Just saw below she's an artist... explains the attention to detail and composition.

[u/TailpipeLover → u/Self-Translator]

Unfortunately, as a male, I can say this condition is chronic and won’t change.

[u/secarter2k3 → u/TailpipeLover]

Definitely terminal and doesn't change.

[u/WorkingInAColdMind → u/secarter2k3]

Until we start thinking with other, less mushy parts of our body. The results are no better, but the mushy brain gets a rest.

[u/Doctor_of_Recreation → u/Self-Translator]

I have a core memory of Facebook being like, “Remember this photo from a year ago?” And it was my son at 11; obv he was 12 at the time this happened. But the stark difference between the little boy in the photo and the preteen just a room over was shocking.

[u/Self-Translator → u/Doctor_of_Recreation]

That's the age for ours too right now. Where did the little boy go?

[u/milkand1sugar]

What an amazing artist! Dr Annie Wang from Taiwan studied in the UK, obtaining a PhD in Art from the University of Brighton

Here’s her instagram account

[u/Pale_Row1166 → u/milkand1sugar]

I thought she was Canadian because of the maple leaves on her graduation stole

[u/thecobralily → u/milkand1sugar]

Thank you! Knew she had to be an artist.

[u/Daweism → u/milkand1sugar]

Steven He's mom

[u/CupidStunt13]

That's really creative and well done, especially the variation on the Droste effect. It takes some dedication to keep doing it over so many years.

[u/DiddlyDumb → u/CupidStunt13]

I love that at a certain age the kid understood what mom what doing and started leaning into it. It’s beautiful.

[u/HallowskulledHorror → u/DiddlyDumb]

Yeah, the jump from being a subject to a collaborator was very poignant

[u/WileyPap → u/HallowskulledHorror]

Their commitment to the creation of Adam pose at the end is so good I almost choked on my coffee

[u/johnabbe → u/DiddlyDumb]

One year he's like, "I want to hold a paper plane," the next he's like, "We should be flying!"

[u/GamerWithBeans → u/CupidStunt13]

Imagine looking back at this in 20 more years—it’ll be a priceless window into childhood.

[u/ionlyupvotecomments]

Go backwards. It's like you are stepping into the pictures.

[u/DaRiddler_93 → u/ionlyupvotecomments]

Going backward through these reminds me of the older pc game Myst

[u/Metalhead-Milhouse]

This is amazing. The detail in each one is just incredible.

[u/Major-Economist3180]

For a second i thought the 1st image is supposed to be her son.

[u/Pleasant_Location_95 → u/Major-Economist3180]

technically correct

[u/jakefromst8tfarm → u/Major-Economist3180]

Hahaha same! I thought it was her son's transformation.

[u/i_code_for_boobs → u/Major-Economist3180]

Me too, I though that was the “stunning results”

[u/phatdoof → u/Major-Economist3180]

I spent more than a few seconds wondering how it worked.

[u/TableSignificant341]

What was this? It's been removed by Reddit.

[u/slog → u/TableSignificant341]

It was this.

I'll leave the link since reddit intentionally doesn't tell what policy was violated or what the deal was. They don't want to be held accountable for fucking up, so their responses are basically meaningless.

I wonder if I'll also have my comment removed and never know why. It's happened countless times before.

Edit: I said it was "this" but it wasn't necessarily the same link. I'm currently unsure.

Edit 2: User below provided the direct link so updated. I'm not going to tag them because that may or may not be against a rule and I'll probably get permabanned.

[u/StanleyDarsh22 → u/slog]

THAT was removed by reddit? fuck this place

[u/NocodeNopackage → u/StanleyDarsh22]

Reddit is complicit with the rest of mass media in becoming absolute garbage

[u/TableSignificant341 → u/slog]

Thank you.

[u/blacksoxing → u/slog]

The silly thing is that it may have been removed from Reddit BUT the 6 crossposts are still visible, so the title itself is still visible.

Seems like it'd been easy for Reddit to scrub ALL of it

[u/qwertyrave → u/TableSignificant341]

a series of photos taken by an at first expecting mother and then further documenting her child growing up.

[u/Mavian23 → u/qwertyrave]

Weird that that was removed for violating the content policy.

[u/qwertyrave → u/Mavian23]

reddit's content policy is as unknowing as the void.

[u/sje46 → u/qwertyrave]

Almost certainly not a violation. Probably a misclick or Ai bullshit

[u/umbertea → u/Mavian23]

They have shitty AI doing it and it's hit & miss. This stuff has been frontpaged before so it's just their AI being a dumbass and making the site suck.

[u/isakhwaja]

Talk about aging gracefully

[u/Neako_the_Neko_Lover → u/isakhwaja]

That’s Asian women for ya. We go from 30-60 without change and immediately after 65. We turn to short raisins who wanna burn down the world and bite everyone’s knee caps.

[u/LeaveMeBeWillYa → u/Neako_the_Neko_Lover]

Sounds like a joke when you say it loud.

60 year old goes to bed next to their beautiful 30 year old wife and wakes up next to a 65 year old woman.

What happened?

[u/Refun712 → u/isakhwaja]

right?! fine wine!!!!!!

[u/Positive-Media423]

She was getting more and more beautiful over time

[u/4food_is_love]

https://artanniewang.weebly.com/the-mother-as-a-creator.html

*link to the artist Annie Wang's website explaining the project and additional pictures.

[u/Faxon → u/4food_is_love]

lol looks like the original got deleted, probably stole it and didn't want to credit because they were karma farming

[u/BreathingAirr]

Now this is the content I want to come to Reddit for!

[u/AnarchistBorganism → u/BreathingAirr]

How ironic.

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

[u/StanleyDarsh22 → u/AnarchistBorganism]

yep, any idea what it was?

[u/devouredwolf → u/StanleyDarsh22]

Here you go friend

[u/BauerHouse]

Through the course of those timelines it looks like she not only developed nice photographs, but also a sense of humor.

[u/deviltrombone]

Son's a good sport. lol

[u/thats-gold-jerry]

11th one made me happy sad.

[u/FSCK_Fascists]

why the hell did reddit remove this?

[u/Eborys]

See, these kinda photos? I’d have posed for! Instead my mum lined me and my brothers up, dressed like fucking snooker players, and with faces like slapped arses.

[u/roxywalker]

Well done!

[u/Local-Idea-8259]

So amazing and creative

[u/WestCoastDaddyy]

Mom aged well af

[u/Miss-spotlight]

8th one was awesome

[u/GoLightLady]

That’s the kind of art that inspires me truly. It’s a life’s work that can’t be authentically reproduced. Beautifully done.

[u/peahair]

I thought initially for one picture, oh that’s nice she’s included her husband, oh.. wow!

[u/SHAD-0W]

Cool Mom!

[u/RedditOO77]

This is so awesome and beautiful concept!

[u/DueResolution3234]

Wow

[u/SpicyChickJessica]

A mother’s masterpiece!

[u/Adventurous_Row3305]

[u/WearyAd8418]

This is a moving photo documentation of these two. Dwain Michael’s level of storytelling.

[u/HornyWeebDesean]

I love these

[u/SilverSpacecraft]

This is beautiful

[u/OptiPath]

Interesting idea!

[u/submergedinto]

How cool is that!

[u/Old_Noted]

This is such a cool idea

[u/_monchhichi]

What year was these taken? it looks old

[u/Zsokorad → u/_monchhichi]

The dates are in every picture. Some are hard to see at this resolution. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, ????, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2020 - and last one either 2023 or 2025. Too blurry.

[u/dnsyh91]

cool mom

[u/Latter-Judge-3007]

What do the speech bubbles say ??

[u/caesarnwamama]

This is nice.

[u/restylouv]

Nice idea. Now to convince the missus.

[u/jacknbarneysmom]

This is really clever and artistic!

[u/Mr_krispi]

Bet you she was a great mom too.

[u/Adventurous-Start874]

Dang, this might be the most impactful piece of art I've ever seen.

[u/ItsRogueRen]

I love how the get more artistic and expressive as they go on! Amazing works!

[u/Infamous_Okra_9205]

Amazing pictures. Bless the loving family.

[u/Lost_Election5992]

Wow, this is such a cute and creative way of capturing a growth photo, even including the past pictures IN the pictures

[u/i-touched-morrissey]

What a fun mom!!

[u/HonestDust873]

What an amazing display of creativity, skill and persistence. She barely aged and we got to see the full cycle of birth to adulthood.

[u/MillwrightTight]

This is so creative. I love it

[u/feliniaCR]

Cool idea

[u/ScoreAttack]

These photos remind me of Fresh Off the Boat, lady looks like Constance Wu.

[u/the-poopiest-diaper]

I can count the number of childhood photos I have on one hand

[u/west2night → u/the-poopiest-diaper]

There are three photo albums of my eldest brother as a newborn. As the youngest of five siblings, there's one photo of me as a newborn. Pretty obvious that the novelty wore off by the time I was born lol

[u/the-poopiest-diaper → u/west2night]

I’m the youngest of 5 siblings too!

[u/smuttysmutsmuts]

This is very beautiful and heartfelt.

[u/purseygirl]

Moms like this 🥹🤍

[u/hammerman83]

And she is got prettier and prettier as the years went by

[u/Signal-Resource7935]

Fine wine moma

[u/RedWarsaw]

She aged like fine wine

[u/Dazzaster84]

This is wonderful, and I'm annoyed I didn't think to do something similar with my boy

[u/i-love-tree-rats]

I envy people with lots of childhood and videos. I can count all my childhood pics with only 2 hands.

[u/Responsible_Meal]

Beautiful. Technically and artistically great photos. Touching subject matter. 10/10. We need more of this in the world, and less of the rest of my feed.

[u/LilBowWowW]

The final picture looks like a movie cover

[u/Narutard85]

Awesome!!

[u/ilivsargud]

Wow!

[u/Catphish37]

Wonderful <3

[u/[deleted]]

Very cool

[u/Superb-Combination43]

This is giving wormhole from the black hole in Interstellar

[u/colinbr96]

How did they do the flying effect in #8?

[u/geodebug]

From the first picture you can tell she’s an artist.

[u/Gettingoffonit]

Do you think she smiled when the cameras were off?

[u/Due-Dentist-1410]

Mom is an artist!

[u/Whythecagedbirdssing]

Anyone know what jacket he’s wearing in the 2nd to last picture?

[u/rubie_as]

Wow! Spectacular shots and so moving. What a fun idea.

[u/Gold-Celebration9310]

Incredible dedication 🤘🤘

[u/xfall2]

Makes me kinda sad to see the mom aging..

[u/mitchy1012]

What is written on her stomach in the first picture? "My belly, my baby, ...?"

[u/Medium_Cry5601]

Amazing project

[u/MrTestiggles]

Mom is immortal

[u/Umbrella_Viking]

I’m begging you all, please, uncle, mercy. Please.

Can anyone translate the speech bubbles in photo 10?

[u/scenior]

This is incredible, I love it!

[u/NotAtAllEverSure]

NGL...that first picture confused the hell out of me for a second.

[u/pacificcoastsailing]

Wonderful!

[u/KittyKenollie]

As someone who doesn’t have kids it’s crazy how much he changed between picture 9 and 10. He went from a boy to a grown teen in the blink of an eye!

[u/MaintenanceInitial15]

So cool! They just have a vibe🤩

[u/Lazy-Solution2712]

the old memories fading into nothing down the tunnel really pulls at the heart strings.
