Life/Death

Lady2354

A spiritually numbing and uplifting series of portraits taken of the terminally ill in the days before and just after their deaths. This photograph is a posthumous one of Roswitha Pacholleck, 47. Money quote:

“It’s absurd really. It’s only now that I have cancer that, for the first time ever, I really want to live,” Roswitha told me on one of my visits, a few weeks after she had been admitted to the hospice. “They’re really good people here,” she said. “I enjoy every day that I’m still here. Before this my life wasn’t a happy one.”
