Since childhood I have a special soul connection with my beloved grandfather. He taught me that you need humor in life and should not only "function" in society like a machine. As a teenager, he let me drive his Volvo on the campsite and taught me how to drive. When there were problems at school or with my parents, he was there for me like a friend. This made me ask him for a promise in my youth 30 years ago: Namely, that he would live to be 100 years old! This month he has reached 103 years of life and I decided to make a small portrait series of him, to honor him and record it for eternity.
