Description
Paddy Summerfield's poignant photographic journal chronicles the final years of his 60-year marriage. From 1997 to 2007, he captured intimate images of himself and his parents, documenting their enduring bond despite the challenges posed by Alzheimer's disease.
These thoughtful, often melancholic photographs were taken primarily in the family garden, which gradually became a neglected wilderness as the two people who cared for it and each other began to fade away. The result is a deeply personal yet universally relatable work that explores the complexities of love, loss, and memory.
