I started to make photo work in the form of a story after my parents killed themselves, one after the other, in 1998.
I feel most comfortable capturing things, just as they are, in photos and texts and have created a story by photographing
family albums as well as my father’s drawings and paintings, and mixing them into my work.
Now in November 2015, I am making the handmade photo book Picture of My Life, my latest work inspired by my
previous work The Letter.
