Andrew Kurcan on Capturing the Quiet, Unspoken Moments of Grief

For me, photography is not only a profession, but a way to cope, interact and understand the world around me. Earlier this year my brother-in-law died unexpectedly. Weeks later my mother passed away -- equally unexpectedly.

2017 has been defined by grief -- the loss, the anger, the confusion, the isolation -- often a full gamut of emotions. Over the past few months, I have been shooting a photo essay titled On Grief as an attempt to capture those quiet moments when one is left with nothing but their own thoughts. Being a visual creative, I find that I cope and express best with imagery. .
