Jane Fitzgerald, The Gloriousness of Age (PORTRAIT 2023)

Contrary to conventional societal interpretations, ageing does not have to mean deteriorating, dulling, or fading away. All too often, we associate age with regression. Yet playfulness, youthfulness, and vibrancy remain indispensable threads in the fabric of one’s lifetime. This series demonstrates a bold, youthful defiance of age, as expressed through my parents. With the exceptionally busy task of having raising ten children, they epitomise selflessness devotion, grace, elegance, and wisdom.
