This project is deeply personal to me, inspired by my grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's. The time difference and her fluctuating state of clarity make it increasingly difficult to connect with her. This experience drove me to explore themes of time and memory, and the feeling of being trapped within time. A central element of this project is the door, symbolizing connection and transition from one place to another. In the context of my project, the door also hints at the unknown, just like how we never know which memory my grandmother will drift into next. For her, memories are like a maze. She wanders through them, with the passage of time losing its meaning. She can only loop through these fragments of memories in her daily life. I feel like I'm calling out into a void, asking, "Hello, are you there?" I can't reach her world, but through this project, I hope to bridge the distance just a little.
