I remember when I used to play with these when I was younger but now they are dusty and unused. Her whole house is deterierating just the same way as my great nan is.
Macbeth's 'to-morrow and, to-morrow, and to-morrow' scene is very much about the fact he is becoming nothing.
This series of photographs are almost a symbolisation of 'becoming nothing'. I took inspiration from my great nan for these shots as she is now 93 years old and she has many illnesses such as dementia and arthritus in which have caught up with her in old age.
I hadn't seen her in a while and so when I went to see her I immediately associated her presence as the same a Macbeth's.
Her speech is slurring and she is becoming quite violent vocally and in the way she speaks to you.
When looking through out photos of her, to me, I can see that she is just a shell of her former self and is 'becoming nothing' in a sense that she has lost her personality as well as her former being in which she has almost now turned into a juxtaposition of herself.
