His
father, who was diagnosed with dementia 5 years earlier, was in the transition phase from
living at home with his wife to being placed in a nursing home. And he became
sick, lonely and even more confused than before. After sad years seeing him
struggling with dementia, he finally died from Covid 19. The portait
expressions include raw, hurt, torn, dark, introvert, down, a little bitter,
sarcastic and sardonic. The composition doesn't lie. Nothing is made more
beautiful than it is. The man is naked behind his make-up and talcum powder mask.
The honey flows uncontrollably along his face, chaoticly, messy, confusing. The
little enjoyments little things of life are no longer seen or experienced as an
insignificant burden. Behind the closed eyes, his own feelings and thoughts
remain private. What does someone have to endure to get this far and dare to
show it?
