Old People Feel the Weather in Their Bones

Old People Feel the Weather in Their Bones is a meditation on the possibilities and limits of photography to "freeze" time. This series of photographs started from my relationship with my parents, with whom I spent the last 12 years of their lives. It is a project about memory, aging, and about the search for normality and happiness in an oppressive political regime. Many of these photo assemblages are composed of family album photographs taken in Romania during the communist period placed alongside anatomical details of their aging bodies. There comes a time in life when you realize you have a lot of memories (and photographs) and fewer plans for the future. And that's worrying.
