Promise fulfilled from the series Promise fulfilled © Lennard Grohn
Since childhood I have a special soul connection with my beloved grandfather.
He taught me that you need humor in life and should not only "function" in society like a machine. As a teenager, he let me drive his Volvo on the campsite and taught me how to drive.
When there were problems at school or with my parents, he was there for me like a friend.
This made me ask him for a promise in my youth: Namely, that he would live to be 100 years old!
In July 2023 he had reached 103 years of life and I decided to make a portrait series of him, to honor him and record it for eternity.
He died in September 2023.
In 2024, I won first place at the ND Awards, Category “Professional – People – Portrait” with this work, which made me very happy and touched me, because in my perception it not only honors the portrait, but also my beloved grandfather.
