This shooting was inspired by many memories surrounding my grandmother in the ambiance of seasonal activities. She has always been the type of woman who has her hands busy with some action, and whether I was sleeping in the garden or playing around childishly, she remained fixated on her routines and trades. Often, I would sneak in to watch her to see what she was busy with. I would feel like an intruder because there was no sign of stress or pressure on her face. Her aura was touched by peace. She wasn’t in a meditative state, more likely having an inner monologue, as though her best friend was across the room contemplating life. But there was nobody, just her presence, alone, truly enjoying her time with her inner self.
