《與死同生》

Borowick夫婦結婚三十四年,其中最後一年在攜手抗癌中度過。他們不願在人生的最後幾個月裡為自己的病情過度費心傷神,於是選擇共同創造新的回憶,和家人充分把握僅剩的相聚時光。丈夫Howie在2013年12月7日去世。他走後,妻子Laurel的病情惡化,並在隔年的12月6日逝世。攝影師在這項專題中記錄了雙親最後的人生篇章。她說每個人都希望能在人生中找到目的,父母親人生最後的目的就存在此刻,存在他們留給她的這份禮物中,讓她能夠用照片說出父母的故事。這也是Borowick夫婦遺留給後人的禮物。

A Life in Death

Laurel and Howie Borowick lived out the final year of their 34-year-long marriage battling cancer together. They chose to spend their last months creating new memories, rather than becoming preoccupied with their troubles. Their family used the time they all had left together to the fullest. Howie died on 7 December 2013. After that, Laurel’s cancer worsened and she passed away on 6 December 2014. The photographer documented her parents’ final chapters. She says that everyone wants to find purpose in their lives, and that Laurel and Howie’s final purpose was found in this moment, in the gift they gave her of allowing her to tell their story. This is their legacy.
