NIEBLA

[ behind the fog ]

Living a life that you know it belongs you but you cannot recognise yourself in it.
Daily fights with memories about relatives, places and objects. Connections between touch and sounds.
The silence, the noise, the emptiness, the resignation of the unrecognisable, the frustration, the emotion of sometimes feelings, the people around with no name and familiar faces, the seconds of consciousness where everything becomes embarrassing and unbelievable, the scape to the far away, the stillness.

While documenting Alzheimer-“Niebla”, looking for the nude soul behind the fog, I ask myself if the contrast between the healthy strong woman with rough personality, and the childish sensitive ancient lady, have anything in common. What if she has been hiding behind the character of the strongest for a whole life, to survive in society, to protect herself, to save “the family”.
What if the real one was the sensitive, and only a disease is the way to let it go, to let it free.
