Portrait of my Mom and Dad

This picture is a portrait of my parents. Taken during lockdown, it was the beginning of a series focusing on my family and our radical coliving during these weird times. My father gaze's expresses love and care, and my Mom, even though they're not together anymore, rely on him, and physically on his shoulder. This is intimate, raw, true : not really documentary, we tried through this series, starting with this picture, to take a look on what we socially call "Family".
