Description
The Time Between Us is a collaborative project with my mom. This project documents my aging mother and our close relationship in a collection of intimate photographs. My mother had me when she was in her late forties and because of this, we have less time together. She's now sixty-eight and I'm now twenty-six. I want to capture our remaining memories together as time doesn’t wait for you to be ready. Because Alzheimer's runs in my family, sometimes it feels like a ticking time bomb held over my head. Alzheimer’s took my grandmother from me, and I pray that it won’t take my mom. With each photograph I make, it feels as if I lose a part of my mother, and I’m grieving for that loss.
