2024 Reflection

My Photography this year entered a new space of reflection. 2024 marked the second year of my mother's death and this meant a massive adjustment in my life.

Every image I created this year was done so with a cloud of sadness hanging over me.

This has been a year of a broken heart and coming to terms with a life I no longer recognise.

This showed up in my images.

The subconscious holds many secrets.

I have to accept that this year has been a continuation of my mourning. Losing a loved one is never easy and you just cannot put a time frame on how long the grieving process must take. I personally believe we never get over it.

I think we must learn to live with it.

We create ourselves to become someone who can live with it and continue with life.

I am still learning.

Part of my learning has been to create images every day. I do so to remind myself that life is still beautiful and a privilege worth fighting for.

Even in death, there is a sublime beauty that all is ok.

All that remains is to Live

One frame at a time.

Onwards…
