Conceived during a family trip to the seaside, this project serves as a visual diary of the disorienting emotional terrain that follows loss, isolation, and the quiet turbulence of family grief. The photographs are shot using hard flash and rendered in vivid colors that fracture the familiar and plunge the ordinary into abstraction. The flash flattens space and erases detail, turning figures and scenes into almost unrecognizable fragments. What remains is not a narrative, but a dreamlike visual residue. Red and green dominate the palette, echoing the colors of “stop” and “go”. The tension between these opposites mirrors a stuck mindset: the desire to move forward colliding with the inability to let go. The seaside, a place traditionally associated with leisure and rebirth, becomes a stage for emotional dislocation. The attempts to distract ourselves from pain often intensify the presence of that pain. The more we run, the more it chases us. The photographs aim to evoke the strange, suspended state of grief.
