Pilgrim

von

Pilgrim is a visual journey into one woman’s life through the eyes of her parents, husband, and son. In her last years, Marq Sutherland returned home to help his mother through this time during which they spoke about a recurring subject—her past. Years before, Pilgrim had given him his maternal grandfather’s and father’s photographic negatives. Sifting through thousands of images unseen for decades, Marq found many photographs which depicted his mother’s life from the moment of birth, and saw how he might complete her story with love and dignity—how they both might hold onto life as they learned to let go.
