- Summary
- In 2011 the father of photographer Hans Bol was diagnosed with cancer. In response, he took his camera and began a touching and intimate chronicle of the elderly man's gradual deterioration over the next six months, until finally passing away in the comfort of a hospice, no longer able to speak but with his pain alleviated to the best degree possible. Bol could not have predicted that he would end up making the series White Crow, or what would result from the process of inevitably saying goodbye to a loved one. Interspersed with pictures of his father are the crows and ravens that appear frequently in Bol's work, which he views as symbols of transformation and harbingers of eternity.
