Portraying elderly subjects revisiting their childhood heroes, artist Jason Yarmosky captures his grandparents in this heartfelt series. Enlisting the help of his 85 year old grandparents dolled in familiar costumes that hark back to popular culture, the magic lies in his ability to capture joy, youth, freedom, purity, tenderness and melancholia all at once.

Celebratory, humorous and cute, yet wrought with a tender, sullen sadness, the duality of youth and undeniable confrontation of time and age sit uncomfortably side by side, bringing forth a flood of memories, emotions and reminder of our fragility.
