galleryeight is proud to present Dementia, a new photographic series by Tilly Leahy.
Dementia is a series of A0 - sized photographs of the artist's grandmother. Tilly uses these confronting images to explore the tragic fate of dementia victims as the disease consumes the mind. Despite the subject matter, the portraits have unsettling beauty about them.
"I want to explore the human body, and how we age and react to incurable illnesses," says Tilly. "Dementia sufferers don't recognise their loved ones, leaving families to mourn for relatives before they've passed away".
