In the warmth of her living room, my mother-in-law sits absorbed in thought as a bubble passes briefly between her and the camera. Blown by my daughter moments before, the bubble becomes a delicate frame linking grandmother, grandchild and photographer. A chance to on the ephemeral nature of family moments and the quiet intimacy of domestic life. For an instant, the bubble suspends time, holding together multiple generations before disappearing as quickly as it arrived.
