My mother passed in July of 2019 of stage 4 colon cancer which went undetected for 10 years. In her last 15 months of life, she lived with me. Her loss was devastating. Flowers, started to come into fruition about 2 weeks after she passed. Once the flowers, which people sent us, began to wither, I had a need to photograph them.

Flowers, 2019 would become the second of many more images, which have all become pieces of a larger body of work called “After Mom.”
