Original artwork description:
The paintings in this collection tackle the beauty of decay in response to the cognitive (as well as physical) deterioration that is inevitably connected to one's age. Alzheimer's is a disease that deprives the victim of their essence, leaving behind a seemingly unscathed being, that is nonetheless only a fragment-a ghost of the former self. My work explores the loss of identity and memory, but above all the "beautiful" aspects of this process . This beauty is simultaneously hopeful and unrelenting as a person with Alzheimer's may not recall an event or person but will remember how these made them feel. This bittersweet element is something I wished to reflect in each painting.
