A Life Erased

2023

e

I imagine walking into a room that I've walked into a hundred times before.

I no longer recognize it.

It's as if someone has rearranged the furniture, and removed a few items in the process.

I confuse time and space.

I don't remember important family events and even deny they happened.

Familiarity is foggy and eventually loses its place altogether.

I cant remember what I did 15 minutes ago never mind yesterday.

I can't find my words, like I can't find my slippers, which I believe someone has stolen.

Perhaps the same person or persons who have rearranged my furniture.

It feels like someone is stealing everything from me- my thoughts, my words, my memory.

It's a cruel form of identity theft.

And there is no way to get it back.

A life erased.

This show is dedicated to my mother Joyce Filletti who was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2017.

The photos below are from the family album beginning with her as a child in Malta and ending with her stay in Greenview Lodge, Don Mills Ontario.
