A radio report had caught my attention\u2014it spoke of a quiet yet painful reality: far more women than men reach old age, as men tend to die younger. As a result, many women grow old alone. To escape loneliness, or to ease the burden on their families, they often move into care homes, where they spend the final chapter of their lives.<\/p>\n
This idea stayed with me and soon became something of an obsession: how do these women create a sense of home after leaving everything behind? How do they find joy and meaning in this later stage of life?<\/p>\n
Over time, I visited and photographed many elder care homes. The most extraordinary one was a shelter for elderly Jewish women. What made it unique was that residents were allowed to bring everything with them\u2014even their furniture. In this way, they could recreate their old homes almost exactly as they had been. And yet, the people they had once shared those homes with were gone. Now, they lived among memories and keepsakes, piecing together a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar place.<\/p>\n
