This book was published on occasion of a solo exhibition at the Fotomuseum Winterthur in 1995. Furuya's work deals with the suicide of his wife in 1985, his attempt to explain and understand that act and its repercussions through his and his son's life. Not only that in this publication gathers portraits of Christine and their son, but also alternates impressions of their stay in East Berlin and Dresden with delicate plant and flower photographs. In addition, Furuya has included a series of face-to-face portraits of Bosnian war refugees, originated in detention centers in Graz, in the publication.
