Parvin wakes up every day between 8:30 and 9:00. organizing is an important habit of her. After eating strange potions with her breakfast, she starts cooking lunch. If there is no work like cleaning the house and arranging things, (like Wednesdays, which is the day for cleaning) she lies on her bed for a while. In the evening, it is time to make tea and after that, have a simple dinner like bread and cheese or hot milk. At 11:00 p.m., she puts on her facial creams and then it is time of the fragrant rose water and glycerin that she rubs on her hands and that is when its mild aroma fills her room. If Parvin falls asleep on time, the lights will be turned off at 11 PM.
This project derived from the collection in which I photographed my grandparents’ house and represented their way of living in my photos. After my grandfather went on a trip, my grandmother and I were alone and I decided to continue the collection only with her presence. Her name is Parvin. I started photographing her, her habits, behavior and lifestyle.
