Project Description

My grandmother died on the 9th of March 2020. She had Alzheimer´s disease.

At first, it was names and places, later she had a hard time writing something. She would hold the pen in the air making circular movements as if trying to remember how to write a letter, any letter. She spoke less because making sentences was difficult and I think she was embarrassed. A couple of months before she died, I was photographing my grandparents sitting on a couch. Has the photographer finished yet? She asked my grandfather. I think it broke my heart.
