Goodbye, Dear Stranger

The uncertainty of something that is and isn't, the absent presence, to see without seeing.  During my father's illness, I started without knowing account about our complex relationship and the difficulty of watching him leave once again. For me, the camera wasn't intentionally used to document at that moment, but as a method to survive and take distance from the painful reality I didn't know how to face. More than a formal project, this essay is an invisible conversation, a journal of images made with the only intention of surviving the inexplicable experience of losing a father I never truly got to know... a goodbye to my dear stranger.
