The show is a culmination from five years of Moses’ efforts in photographing her parents at their home in Williamsburg, Virginia. Following her uncle’s terminal diagnosis and death in early 2019, Moses witnessed a change in the way her parents interacted with each other and their approaches in conversations centered around mortality.
