My eldest living sibling had Alzheimer’s and there was/is no cure.  One day I was deep in thought after having researched all that I could about the disease and my mind’s eye saw the disease as it slowly invaded the brain, breaking up memory, destroying memories, piece parts here and there in the brain but without connection. What the individual lived, what the individual is or was, is being erased, lost, and evaporated into oblivion. The painting is a result of that agonizing time spent thinking of my sibling. She was my eldest sister, now deceased.
