Project Concept: "Girl with a Silver Smile"
This project is about my mother. During the last year we lived together, I saw her in a new light—fragile, tender, like a little girl in an old body.
As if something had glitched.
A playful little girl, loving dresses, earrings, and perfume… yet her body reminded me that time was short.
Her memory faded and returned, revealing in her eyes the wonder of the world.
That’s when I began photographing her. It was my research, my attempt to understand how the soul says goodbye to this world and to remember her as I had never known her before.
She joyfully responded to all my suggestions, and that was her gift to me.
Three months ago, my mother passed beyond the veil. The first month, I felt her very close. Then, she seemed farther away.
And today, AI gave me a new encounter with her—the Girl with a Silver Smile. She suddenly came to life in my video.
I hear you, my dear: “Play, while there is life.”
