Last summer, my mother unpacked a box of family pictures on her kitchen table and I started wondering why family pictures are always stored into boxes. Like some classified affair.
While going through those faces I didn’t know and these landscapes that did not exist anymore, I started building up stories about how things could have happen for those who were not here anymore to tell them the way they were.
