Karen Khachaturov - Humor and pain often go hand-in-hand

Armenian photographer Karen Khachaturov photographed his grandfather in a pastel world 'Pastel Struggle' to deal with his bladder cancer. A very delicate photo series.

His grandfather died last spring. The last photo they made was "Here, I am fully blind" (see below).

“The whole series is full of sarcasm towards the disease, and we both knew it.”

Here, I am trying to hold on

Here, I am about to shower

Here, I am trying to figure out who my guest is

Here, I am on meds

Here, I am fully blind
