Yoshida Akhito - The Absence Of Two

Over the years, Akihito Yoshida took countless photographs of her cousin and his grandmother, who lived in a small and peaceful rural town located in the Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. The grandmother had raised and cared for Daiki from the time he was a child, living and eating together, and always sleeping with him in the same room. 'The Absence of Two' documents this little family, two people who cared dearly for each other and could not be separated. The pictures show how their roles shifted over time, as Daiki, now an adult, took on the burden of dutifully caring for his ailing grandmother. One day, after she had gotten better, he went out on his motorcycle and never came back.
