ONE IMAGE

An image can have a huge importance, despite its quality and how it’s taken. You need to slow down and take the time to learn about the story before you are able to see it. This is an exhibition about my sister and it consists of one image only. It’s the last picture taken of her. She was killed aged nine in an accident while crossing the street. After this tragedy, my parents started looking for the last image of her. This process helped them with their grief. They found this seemingly random snapshot of our family and cropped the image in such a way that the focus was totally on her. After this, my parents enlarged and framed it. Ever since, this photograph hangs in their living room.
