表妹从小和外公外婆一起生活,表妹的妈妈,也就是我的小姨于2014年重病去世,由于当时没有做好老人们的和孩子们的临终关怀,直到现在,小姨的名字在我们家还是一个禁忌。只要提起,老人孩子都伤心。小姨重病时,全家走投无路,外公外婆以试试看的心态转变了自己的宗教信仰,从佛教徒改信基督。表妹和外公外婆现在仍旧生活在一起,于是我想通过我的拍摄来追问一些答案,关怀他们的生活,也因此,我和关系生疏的表妹也敞开心扉在微信里聊了几次她母亲的死亡对她的各种影响,以及家人对她缺乏关注所导致的影响。在拍摄中,我发现这个家中仅剩下的一些关于她的一点零星的物件,比如她最后时刻画到一半的耶稣画像还一直挂在墙上。
My younger female cousin has lived with her grandparents when she was a child. Her mother, that is, my aunt, died of serious illness in 2014. Due to lack of enough terminal care for the elderly and child at that time, my aunt's name has been still a taboo in our home until now. As long as it is mentioned, the elderly and child are sad. When my aunt was seriously ill, the whole family was so hopeless that the grandparents changed their religious beliefs from Buddhism to Christianity, hoping to have an effect on her illness.My younger female cousin still live together with her grandparents now, so I'd like to get some answers and show my concern about their lives through my shooting. As a result, I begin to open my heart to the unfamiliar cousin and talked several times with her on WeChat about the impact of her mother's death on her, as well as the impact made by the family's lack of attention to her. During the shooting, I found a few articles in the home about my aunt, for example, an unfinished portrait of Jesus by her in her final days is still hanging on the wall.
