My photos are for anyone coping with bereavement. My dad died when I was 12 and within a week of him dying I had collected a box full of his things: a favourite jumper, ties, drawings, photos, his glasses…
I wrote in a notebook how I was feeling, what the funeral was like, what he was like etc… so this was all in a box in my room.
When given this project I was at first gonna do it about naughty kids but then when I was lying in my bed one morning I looked at the box on my shelf and thought “there’s my project!” So I just laid it all out on my bedroom floor and went and got his favourite CDs from downstairs cos that made it better, he loved his music. The CDs weren’t in the box cos they still get played. So I just started taking pictures. Voila!
