Description
Judith Kitchen's Half in Shade is a deeply personal exploration of family, identity, and the power of photography to capture moments in time. When she discovered boxes of old family photos, Kitchen was drawn into a world of memories, speculation, and introspection. As she pieces together her past with the physical evidence in the photographs, Kitchen navigates the complexities of family relationships, mother-daughter bonds, and the fragility of human experience. This lyrical work is both a meditation on heritage and a powerful exploration of the forces that shape us. Through its precise and evocative prose, Half in Shade offers a nuanced understanding of the human heart and mind, revealing the intricate web of emotions, certainties, and uncertainties that define our lives.
