Bittersweet focuses on intimate family life, particularly the relationship between my mother who was diagnosed with acute Paranoid Schizophrenia and her dog, Elsa. What began as a way to escape myfamily situation turned into a method of confronting the realities at home. Photographed and filmed over a period of ten years, it is a search for meaning and closure with me questioning and discovering the banalities of everyday life at home.
