We live in a society where youth is valued above all things, where we hide our wrinkles and hide away the elderly the minute they become a hassle, where it’s easier to put them in old people’s homes rather than care for them ourselves, for lack time and motivation. «I wanted to show that old age could also be joyful, even if, is certain images, we’re unsure if what we see if humor or senility. Sometimes the line between them is very fine».
