VAR ÄR JAG? Examination project, Malmö University, 2016
Var är jag? is a handbook for caregivers and relatives of people with dementia. Dementia affects people in many ways – our intellect, thought and identity. The title Where am I? Refers to the physical location and the verbal question people with dementia asks themselves. But also the psychological question of where the ego has gone. The illustrations captures situations and phrases that people with dementia and their caregivers and families recognize from their everyday lives and where our view on the world differs. The graphite represents reality as we see it – the parts in ink how people with dementia may experience it.
