my mother’s mother
it’s cold outside
within me
Photograph: during my student years
Photographs: I took them as a child
This picture, which should have been discarded immediately, preoccupied me from the very beginning. Something about it attracted me.
Years later, as I was sifting through negatives from my childhood, I discovered a picture that had not been enlarged until then. The beginning of a film.
My mother's picture must have stayed with me until I encountered it again in reality.
