FLOWERS FOR MY MOTHER
In the Ainu world, after a man dies, his house burns.
In my world it's December 2021, my Mom sold our family house a few days ago. This is where she, my Dad, my Brother and I spent some of the most carefree and joyful moments of our lives. There were paintings of flowers on the walls. There were flowers in the garden.
Photographed flowers were previously set on fire by me. If you look closely, you can see their scars. Like traces of presence on the empty walls.
This story is a farewell. Requiem for home. I dedicate it to my closest family, especially my Mother. I hope not only this separation will be easier for her.
