Between the flicker of expired film and the fabric of her garments, slowly but surely, an image of Herman emerges. Photos from various stages of her life help to reconstruct her rich existence. She died at home in the summer of 2022, self-determined, surrounded by what made her happy. Artist Deborah S. Philips delivers a touching homage to her deceased mother that reflects on the inevitability of loss.
