Guardian Angels by Ilana Grollman - Emerson College
The photographer’s mother, Rita Stein-Grollman, passed away on 24 January 2023 from early onset dementia. This project is one of Grollman’s ways of processing her mother’s passing, not only as a tribute but also as a way of keeping her memory alive. The photographs were taken in and around the family’s old homes in Baltimore and New York City, an experience the photographer describes as healing, although ‘my grieving will not end anytime soon’.
