INFORMATION

During 2022 and 2023, I assisted my Auntie Bernice with physiotherapy and household chores due to her broken hip. Along with my other responsibilities, my Uncle Morley asked me to capture photographs commemorating their 70 years together.

I chose to title the collection "Grit" because it exemplifies the "mental toughness that enables individuals to persevere and even thrive in the face of adversity." This experience of caring for them remained with me after their passing and has influenced an ongoing project that aims to considering others when designing the built environment.

These two resilient and joyful individuals are a constant source of inspiration.
