Hey guys,

I made this piece to convey the infamous and saddening Alzheimers disease, something my great-grandfather had and was pretty tough for my moms family as I would imagine the same for anyone else who has/had to endure through this. Just thinking about it makes me sad -- to be forgotten, I think would be the saddest part of this disease's phase, especially when it is your loved one.

The clock represents the time of an individuals lifespan afflicted with this disease, ticking away; the memories being lost by the second, a slow and derailing process to death.

The old lady[stock] in my picture shows that she is lost, as she holds a picture of herself as if she's looking for that person - someone of great importance maybe (this shows that she doesn't even recognize herself).

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

I may change the text on the picture frame that the old lady is holding from 'VACANT' to 'MISSING'.


I really would like some suggestions for the top of this image; what YOU say will be vastly considered.


Thanks for letting me showcase this piece,
