He is confused, disoriented, and guarded. The home is owned by a man who is suffering from an illness affecting his memory. Both must navigate their combined gaps in memory to determine why they've been brought together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are various themes explored throughout these pages connected to some form of memory. Memory as construct that is both built, destroyed, and altered daily, its reliability fleeting. The physical objects that connect us to memory and how these are manifestations and representations filled with artificial meaning yet are often the only things left of us when we're gone. Nostalgia as crutch and a curse, offering up memories that are self-serving rather than accurate. And how utterly terrifying it is when the memories themselves begin to vanish along with lucidity, as cognitive faculties fail us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.
