Opis

Since 2007, I have been working as a care assistant in a care home for people with dementia. A few years ago, my grandmother Eugenia died with this disease, but she died at home with her loving family around her in her own old bed. My project, which I call Room of Dementia-Broken Pieces, is about loneliness and being lost in a place without any way out and about struggling with losing the memories and knowledge that we have during our whole life. It's about anger, madness, sadness, and beautiful old people who are no longer happy through being trapped in unfamiliar place with people who are strangers to them. Even we as family and friends sometimes do not recognize them as those we have love in the past. They are still worthy of our love and our being with them in this difficult time of losing themselves. I hope I manage to picture this through my work.
