The Long Goodbye
My grandma was a strong, smart, and very funny woman. She was an amazing storyteller and loved to share her life stories. Throughout my childhood, she always encouraged me to be creative.
After she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I watched this woman I looked up to fade away. At the same time, I watched my mom's life change as she became my grandma's caregiver.
This is a conceptual series about Alzheimer's and the ripple effects it creates in families. We spend our whole lives creating memories that shape who we are, but what happens when the memories are no longer there?
I created six images that represent what the three of us went through during this time, and I will be sharing our story with them.
