Photographer Brandon Tauszik met his grandmother only once. Estranged from the family, Shirley Tauszik had been living alone at a YMCA for decades before she passed away in 2020. After their family began receiving monthly invoices from a rural storage facility, he and his father Lowell were tasked with sorting through the enigmatic contents of fifteen enormous, wooden storage vaults.

By unpacking the empty grief of estrangement, Tauszik uncovers the alienation running through the contemporary family experience. His intuitive photographs are punctuated by brief texts, including a copy of Shirley Tauszik’s obituary and an interview with Lowell Tauszik in which father and son discuss the legacies of mental illness, abandonment, and the remedial power of love.
