that summer

in the words of estonian poetess viivi luik: and that summer / will never return, / will never return, / that summer. 

everyday life captured in summer 2021 knowing it would be last for the flock of sheep my father had been herding since 2013. looking back at photos of those summer days, i realised many things in my personal life ended that summer. 

the constant struggle of having to finally leave my birth home turns me to gather together final traces of memories of everything surrounding me. i say goodbye every summer but never seem to leave this place.
