Grief

In May of 2020 my mother died. She was in Canada, my family and I were in New Zealand, and because of the Covid-19 pandemic we were not able to be with her at the end. In fact, at the time of writing (very nearly a year later) we have still not been able to return to celebrate her life and lay her to rest. We were, however, blessed to be able to spend two weeks with her in February/March of 2020, early in her time in hospital. The photographs in this project come out of my own process of grief and processing around her illness and death. There is no commentary to the images themselves. They merely speak to me of my own emotional experience.
