This series of ten canvases is a result of my current work with older adults with dementia. My focus is on the individual: the fear, the confusion, the isolation and often the resulting anger... leading back to the isolation.
The slow disintegration of everything that makes oneself... slipping away... the individual becoming elemental.
The need for understanding, compassion and individual-centered care.
To treat with dignity, bring moments of peace, and share a little warmth and love.
This is an epidemic of tidal wave proportions that we as a society are only beginning to address.
