A series is dedicated to the memory of the deceased mother. 27 is related to specific stages of the mother’s life. The number 27 also signifies a number of photographs in the present series. The impression of the series of images is highlighted through the clothes worn by the mother, the clothes which are particularly main inspirations of the flashbacks. They have become a link between what existed in the past and what is in the present. It is a visual language about losses and memory. Photographs unpublished.
