Eleanor Darwin
Even The Birds Fly Away
In 2014, my mother was diagnosed with a rare and terminal autoimmune disease, Amyloidosis. Through this photographic project, I am exploring the idea of anticipatory grief. Unable to process the situation in full scale, I use my camera to focus on details of my mother’s environment that accumulate a new meaning in the face of something so overwhelming. Her favourite hobby is cross-stitch. I can guarantee that we’ll be listening to The Script on car rides. She loves her cats like they are her babies, always making sure to leave a door open so they can sleep in bed with her. Photography allows me to connect with my mum. It gives her one last chance at having a voice.
