Empty Nest #2

In psychological theory, the phenomenon of profound loss felt by parents due to separation from children is usually called Empty Nest Syndrome. Empty Nest Syndrome refers to the pressure, sadness, and/or sorrow experienced by parents because their children leave home as adults or settle down. This feeling is often considered natural for parents to feel because they love their children. Similarly, children see this syndrome as a sense of proclamation between the attachment of parents and their feelings towards the distance. The attachment to this case makes me think that the emotional bond between a child and his parents is very specific and makes us feel like we are connected to space and time. What's interesting about this phenomenon is that when the distance that makes us bound to our parents is substituted with objects that represent the mother or father. Several interviews have been carried out, and several objects have emerged as sentimental spaces for informants as children, including these, cigarettes, barbie dolls, cellphones, etc. In this work, I invite you to peek for a moment at the close attachment that they are sharing with us, about the longing for mothers and fathers who have special meaning in this life.
