"Xavier began taking photographs of his grandmother, capturing everything from the small mundane moments of her daily routine – doing her hair up in rollers or going for a little stroll – to the more mischievous moments, like when she plays with her food at an Italian restaurant or shows off her collection of Maasai spears. “The more photos we take the more joy and levity come out of hibernation”, Xavier says."

"Buds for the Ages is a charming example of the potential for photography to unlock the “beauty in slowness and boredom” "

This last sentence summarizes my perception of this series perfectly. The photos feel as though they are narrating and following her through her days which allows the audience to be apart of as well as get a glimpse of the bond between Xavier and his grandmother and his admiration for her.

Capturing the beauty of the mundane seems to be a clear theme that I am following based off artists and series that I've found interesting.
