This fabric book visualises my personal process of grief. The book adopts a dual narrative structure: the raw text acts as a space for my own vulnerable confessions related to the mourning of my Gran, while the abstract, fragmented images symbolise my Gran’s dissolving memory due to dementia. Through the tactile intimacy of the book format, the piece maps a painful yet healing reconciliation with loss.

The final fabric book contains collages and weaves featuring illustrations of my Gran’s objects, as well as photos of my Gran, visualising who she was and her battle with dementia.

The colour scheme is bright and warm, conveying the happy memories she created, and it is also the colours that those with dementia recognise most and are often used in therapy.
