Mônica Moura – Lapso – Brazil/United States

Among the many things my grandma’s Alzheimer’s took away from us was the ability to have meaningful conversations about her life prior to my life. As she grew older, she left objects and pieces of information that provided me with a very superficial story of her life, and much space for speculation and curiosity. When she had her memories with her, I was too young to fully appreciate it; now that I am older, they are no longer there. I wonder at what moment we were in sync.
