"Living is not running after life. To live is to breathe every single moment. Like when everything stops because there is no other solution than to stand still and wait. The real life will then unfold before your eyes." I shot this series during a long day on winter 2013 - my mother was unable to walk, lying in bed for weeks. We both discovered another dimension of our relationship, a much deeper one. She accepted me as her caretaker and I saw her as a very fragile and "frozen" human being, opposite to the strong, never-still woman I was raised by. Her bedroom and what was going on became the fulcrum of our family life - a radical change in perspective who slowed down our hectic life for weeks.
