At the time, my grandmother was diagnosed with Azlhiemer’s. Her mind was slowly fading away. She made me realize how time is a precious thing. I wanted to comment on women and how physical beauty diminishes over time. I set up this woman looking in a mirror at her face. She is observing the sag of her face and where her face once was tight and youthful. Her eyes look at the pitched skin as if she can place herself in a time of younger beauty.
