The pearls were what first connected Cindy Sherman’s photograph to my great-grandmother. In this photograph, Bibi Lola is wearing the necklace I always associate with her. One day, those pearls will be passed down to me. When that happens, I will not only be inheriting a piece of jewelry, but also the memory of the woman who wore it and the history she carried. And the first thing I noticed was her nose. But it’s her pearls that have stayed with me.
