The Things You Carry Inside

——

“The things you carry inside” is a small accordion book made of 11 photographs, created to resemble ultrasound photos that reveal all the complexity and beauty we carry within.

The book was dedicated to my grandmother who had ended her adventure on this planet around the time; she inspired all the written words.

The book started as a list of words that had been circulating in my mind as I reflected on my grandmother’s existence during her last days. I thought of how senile can look a lot like infantile, almost closing the full circle of an existence. My grandma’s offspring grew way beyond her 3 children, 8 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren and my book attempted to express and celebrate all of that beauty.
