A photograph of a person that reveals the essence of the subject's character.
Mother sits on the bed, holding a mirror in her hands. Her hands tremble. In the reflection I see myself, and our resemblance becomes ever clearer. Our images overlap, erasing the boundary between past and future, In this reflection lies the inheritance I fear, and the mirror becomes a space of encounter with myself. This project is my inside view, an attempt to convey how uncertainty and fear become part of my reality. This is a study of the physical and mental state, where every new day I live in a standby mode. In a few years, I'll be the same age as Mom was when she first heard the diagnosis: Parkinson's disease. No one can tell if it has been passed on to me or my children. We can only wait. Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative hereditary disease that leads to a progressive loss of function of nerve cells in the substantia nigra of the brain responsible for movement. Tremor, rigidity, slowness, and imbalance are clinical manifestations that become an integral part of life. The causes of the disease are unknown. The result is immobilization.
