Everyone will go through this way someday
but I never thought I would have this experience.
I faced my mother's death about one year ago.
She showed me that's her own life until she past away.
She loved arts deeply so she produced the final stage of her life as an artist and asked me to help it.
I have felt regret and emptiness so much since she didn't exist in this world anymore.
At the same time, I realized huge love from her. She always enveloped me in a warm hug.
I have looked for her vestiges as if I possessed since she past away.
I wanted to capture her warmth on my photos that I could never ever feel it.
About a week later since she past away, we had new family.
My sister gave a birth but I thought my mother wanted to hug her baby so much.
When I imagined like this, I felt a strong pain in my heart.
I learned strong vitality of human and the transience of human because I faced the life and the death at the same time.
I want to talk to her a lot but my wish can't come true anymore.
That is why I keep contacting her through photographs every single day.
Hi. Mom, how are you there?
I'm doing OK these days.
