The last days

What happens when the time remaining in a human life is known? The first steps of a human being are cheered on, the first smile let us hope for more. But what is with the last actions? To write the own name for the last time, signing the own painting, sharing the own thoughts with the grandchildren for good. A last meal, the last glass of wine the last warmth with his children, a last tenderness before you set out for the last trip, alone.

The absolute finality of those moments made me do this personal project. Teak has decided to stop his life prolonging medical care, the three times per week dialysis knowing for the approaching death within four to five days. My work documents these days.
