Based off a portrait of my late grandmother and grandfather taken when they
were newlyweds.
Unfortunately I could only have a sense of their relationship through stories my mother would tell about how at odds their personalities were, my grandfather the more sensitive of the pair.
Through this amalgamation of photographs taken on film, I seek to capture in essence two things:
1. the personification of my mood shifts; from being totally in tune with my sentiments to being at the extreme ends of emotions akin to being two different manifestations of myself.
2. to bridge the gap between the past and present; from the grandparents whom I never got to know proper to the grandson my grandmother and grandfather could not witness growing, owing to dementia and their passing before my time respectively.
