The nestmaker / The home-wrecker


What seems like an eternal goodbye drove me to write these texts. Filling the lack, distance, and time between my grandmothers and me. In their last years, we are, alas, apart.

During this time, I started photographing decaying flowers in my home almost instinctively. They were silent witnesses of time. As they dried, they curled up by absorbing the air around them, and with them, my thoughts, pain, and hopes.

These two projects take shape in this edition as an archive and object. The photos are printed on cards, archived, and can be held as collection items, with dates manually stamped on the back.
