passage of time

Passage of Time is a personal project about memory, loss and ageing photographed at the Barbican estate.

What strikes me most are the fleeting glimpses of elderly residents. In this unrelenting landscape they appear to have been left to survive a dystopian future.

I’m trying to block out negative thoughts. It’s getting harder. My body provides evidence that it no longer functions properly. Am I not supposed to be comfortable with myself at this age?

I’m blessed with the family I have, so why am I feeling this way? We all arrive and depart this life the same way - on our own.

I still see his face. The last time I saw him. An empty vessel. It’s the recurring memory I have. Why can’t I remember him alive as vividly?

Where did the time go? I watch on as my children blossom into young adults. They are the new and improved versions. How will they remember their father when I am gone?
