Series: Before I Forget
Before I Forget is a series about dementia, memory, and identity. The body of work, created in response to helping my father who has dementia, visually represents the impaired and declining cognitive functions and memory lapses with portraits, 3D objects, and interactive elements. Some themes include repetition, reminders, response delays, reduced capacities, and realizations of losing a sense of self.
