The project is about mortality, impermanence and at the same time about presence. The starting point for me was the experience of dying and the death of my mother, which greatly influenced my view of this phase transition. The aim is to create a space for awareness of one's own death. I work with light-sensitive photographic paper, which I bring to my mother's grave, and I place flowers from that grave on a light-sensitive surface and let them react. Through this act, I create a space to remember, to preserve the memory of beauty and the possibility of awareness of impermanence.
