Each story she told me is symbolised by an illustration of a different body part.
I drew each illustration, laser cut various parts of each image on different coloured paper, assembled them in layers at different depths and photographed them against angled lights to create depth and shadows for each illustration.
The Face - Introduction to my grandmother
Hands - My grandmother's resourcefulness and creativity during the war
The mind - My grandmother's emotional state regarding the war
The Heart - The victims of WWII
Lungs - My grandfather's death to lung cancer
Veins - The different routes of life
