David Plummer, Feast of Losses

Feast of Losses is a series that documents David Pembroke, who in 2003 was diagnosed with Progressive Supernuclear Palsey, a rare brain disease that causes nerve endings at the base of the brain to die. The different color backgrounds were chosen by Pembroke each day to express his emotions, as he has lost his ability to use his facial muscles as a result of his condition.
