Presented photographs are part of the publication called „But please be careful out there.” what is a warning that my Grandmother invariably gives me before each long separation or when I inform her that I am going somewhere. It is an attempt to show an intriguing story, whose main character is my Grandma.This is a story of being an elderly person, whose bare reality is shown in a non-stereotypical style. The aging body presented intimately, provokes one in many ways to face their own thoughts and memories.

The value of a human being at every stage of life, regardless of age, is great and worth noticing and appreciating. Senility can be dignified, beautiful and there is something extraordinary about it and thus, the world of an old person can be full of warmth and unexpected potential.

My Grandma is a very close person to me. I want to show her ordinary day through my eyes. Apparently simple, everyday activities for me, are full of personal content and memories that speak about our relationship and at the same time, remind me how much I owe to her.

My intention was to create a positive story about the relationship between two close people for whom the age difference is not an obstacle. The photos are out of focus, blurred, full of scratches and understatements, this is a procedure that was supposed to create a space for an intimate and personal perception of reality.
