I realized that despite my parents being 78 and my own birth in '78 (a strange coincidence), I still lacked a proper image of them. It was time to capture this photo. The reflection is my way of being present despite distance – simultaneously the photographer and a son in one frame, bridging the distance that often keep us apart. Presented in black and white to echo classic portraiture, it uniquely captures our family's presence across time and distance. I painted the backdrop myself, adding a unique personal touch.
