I began photographing objects belonging to my mother. This work will focus on the themes of absence and unobservation through a photographic examination of a symbolic object to me. The significence within the photograph is the dents in the single pillow and the symbolic object I used to represent absence of a person very close to me, my mum. My purpose was to make it as real as possible I attempted to make absence to be felt as the image could be read in various ways. This way the object is presented in a way so the viewer could feel a sence of something still living and breathing, that is not returning. This could be felt through the tied up blanket and the pyjamas laying on top of it. The emptiness of the image become evocative and allowing the viewer to see the picture and to stand unobserved on the silence of the photograph.
