My Mother passed away on September 12th, it was sudden and unexpected. Similar to the passing of photographer Jennifer Loeber’s mother, my own Mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. She found herself drawn to her Mom’s mundane possessions, I have also experienced a similar feeling as I sort through mugs, jewelry, and trinkets deciding what to keep and at what point should I get rid of the other things. After the death of Laurie, Andrew A. Amundsen’s girlfriend, he began photographing mundane parts of his everyday surroundings. As I grieve for my own mom I am finding that life is continuing, to go on around me despite how much I wish the world had all hit pause. I find moments of joy occasionally and once in a while even forget that I have received what feels like the worst news of my life. For my own photo book, I am planning to emulate the style and work of the above-mentioned photographers as I interpret and begin to comprehend life without my mom.
