The book Lunar Cycles departs from family and family relations. It’s a story about twosomeness, loneliness, illness and grief. Lotta Törnroth have been photographing her parents since her father fell ill in 2005. On their own but also together with Törnroth. Her father passed in 2017, during his last twelve years he allowed her to photograph him without really questioning her intentions. With time it was more like they made the photographs together. After the father’s death she continued photographing her mother, to handle the grief.
When her father was dying Törnroth was at an island farthest out in the archipelago of Åland. Her mother called and asked her to come home in time to say goodbye. The night before going home was among the worst in Törnroths life, and to keep the thoughts at bay she photographed the full moon which was spectacular in the starry October night sky. She has since then revisited that moon every following year as a comfort.
