Composing My Dad

I remember my teacher saying "The composition is even more important than the drawings. You can mess up your drawings, but if you have a good composition, it's clear."

My dad got married in 1983 when he was 40 and 7 years later, I was born.

For 23 years I was unaware of who my dad was before 47. 

What kind of life did he have ? 

What kind of person was he ?

I didn't know anything about him. 

I could walk with my dad for hours without having any conversation.

One night at home, I discovered a bag full of photographs.

I found so much information about his past life, then I remembered what my teacher said about composition.

I used composition to see little more. 

I composed to understand.

I composed his life.

I composed to forgive, 

To love, 

The man he was, the father he is.

2013 - 2014

Even mum knows little about your life before your 40's.

I wonder if you have always been so quiet. 

I wish I could learn from your past mistakes.

I wonder if you had the same relationship with your father.

Once you have told me there is like a wall between you and I.

When you accidentally discovered this book with your pictures, you were so upset ... 

But now, there is a opportunity for you to finally talk about yourself, dad.
