Ying Hsiu Kuo
Ying Hsiu visited her grandma (90 years old) and who stays alone during the day time. This is one day when they were together, with another nursing assistant who came to her grandma’s home every day for one hour. Ying Hsiu tried to shoot something that they treat preciously. This photo tells about the interaction between grandma and her, showing the influence of Alzheimer’s disease. Her past works focus on social interaction. Because of the disease and disability, Ying Hsiu’s grandma is very lonely. She hopes people can notice the problems shown through her work.
