DESCRIPTION
Memory failures...
Mixture of present and past...
Hallucinations and flashbacks...
Captive in a shrinkable and impenetrable world...
This series MENTAL MIST is an ode to my Dutch grandmother who suffered from hereditary Alzheimer's disease.
These images are a reflection of my memories and my feelings and emotions regarding her illness.
With this photographs, I try to conquer my fear for a possible likewise fate and change it into something positive.
