Please Close Gently



Excerpts from Erina Alejo’s 2016 unpublished photography book, “Please Close Gently”, “…detailing the trajectory of my late maternal grandfather’s decline and eventual passing. As a visual essay with short texts, I reflect on the beauty, bitterness and pain of vicariously experiencing an elder’s decline.”
