Notes: Barron creates a portrait of her late mother through still life images of her cherished clothing, shoes, and personal possessions. As her mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s progressed, robbing her of any remembered past, Barron began a visual album as a way of both sparking her mother’s memories, as well as coping with her own sense of loss, and in the process creating unique and personal remembrances. Having lost my own mother to Alzheimer’s, I found this photobook to be a very poignant and touching narrative.
Cheers
this is a very interesting way to testify about someone’s life.
