My grandmother has almost reached the end of her life; her skin became thin as tissue paper. Now it is grandma preparing her good-bye while I realize that her life and death are inseparable from mine. “we die” is an aesthetic approach to the unknown, the traces of time and our upcoming good-bye — somewhere between here and another world.
