In Absentia by Chiara Borredon

Chiara Borredon is an Italian photographer. Her project In Absentia is about how people deal with the absence of a specific person in their everyday lives; the empty space of the absence has been replaced by a watercolor doodle after the picture was taken and printed.valentina-absentia-1_mini

I never get used to people leaving,
I constantly feel their absence.

He was a very formal grandpa, but I miss him everyday.

He was a  bigger brother to me, even if he wasn’t.
