I once heard that the process of mourning is the time that takes the mind to live in the reality that the body is living. When something traumatic happens to us, our minds take some time to process it, especially when we lose something we were used to having. That's why we can find ourselves trying to repeat what we did before that event, even though we would not have the same answer. The same way that we try to turn on the lights when we are experiencing a power outage.
For this image, I wanted to portray those different stages we have to go through while we are mourning before we are able to finally smile again.
