A week of Grandpa's Life
Yao recorded a week in her grandpa’s life, showing how his days have gradually settled into a routine of eight activities at the age of 92. His life may have slowed, but in each small repeated gesture, there is resilience. The work is also her way of spending time with him across distance, memory, and time.
