Family Portrait

Time Remains

Everyone stood, side by side meekly. Four generations. The photographer tried his best, but no one smiled. Back in his studio, he decided to reinterpret the concept of a family portrait. The grandmother's face looking like a flowerpot, no top of the head, chopped horizontally above the nose, twigs around it (each twig representing a family member). At the last minute, he added, "We are all a part of this mess." Why? No idea why he did it. He's still waiting to be paid. The photo, however, was sold for a million to a multi-millionaire. Nothing happens by pure chance.
