Mas Kandhola: Illustration of Life
A profoundly moving narrative that questions the way in which death is represented
Product Description
In our unpredictable world there is one certainty upon which we can always rely; yet death, when it comes, is never easy. In this extraordinary body of work, Max Kandhola photographed his father in the final stages of terminal illness. His intensely personal and honest images confront us with the intimate and often painful reality of death.
Following his father’s diagnosis with cancer, Kandhola spent two years meticulously collecting and photographing fragments and debris from his chemotherapy treatment. These serenely beautiful abstract images form a counterpoint to the haunting final photographs made at his father’s bedside. The result is a profoundly moving narrative that challenges our ideas of death and questions the way in which it is represented.
