Description
Precious Memories, commissioned by The Alzheimer Society, is an encapsulation of visual metaphors. Through the use of symbolism, I have tried to express the importance of cherished memories and the sadness of memories lost. Fallen blossoms below a fresh cluster of Forget-me-nots, the chosen flower symbol of the Alzheimer movement, make us aware of their fleeting beauty and symbolize the elusive innocence of childhood. A photo of a child lovingly displayed reminds us that the arrival of each new generation gives birth to the past, to a panorama of childhood memories. Cherished letters, sentimentally held with a length of satin ribbon like a gift of memories, have steeped with time. The dreams that must be captured therein have long turned to memories and the memories, like the letters, have faded. There are many other visual metaphors which become apparent in the larger format detailed print.
