The Alzheimer’s Caregiver Needs a Break

The project point out, within the family, the difficult role of the "informal cargiver", that is the person who assists a family member suffering from senile dementia, a disease that involves the entire family and causes emotional and physical stress to those who care for them. Specifically, the portfolio focuses on human relationships, on love, on hopes, on suffering, on the deprivation of the caregiver's freedom of choice that helps a family member who is slowly losing their mental faculties.
Dalla parte di Romanita

Il progetto evidenzia, all’interno della famiglia, il difficile ruolo del “cargiver informale” cioè di chi si occupa in prima persona dell’assistenza a un proprio caro ammalato di demenza senile, una malattia che coinvolge l’intero nucleo familiare e che causa stress emotivo e fisico a chi se ne prende cura. Nello specifico il portfolio si sofferma sui rapporti umani, sull’amore, sulle speranze, sulle sofferenze, sulla privazione della libertà di scelta di chi si trova ad affrontare una situazione nuova con il coniuge che sta lentamente perdendo le proprie facoltà mentali.

Showing the different expressions of the captured subjects, this collection represents also a journey of the Soul and in the Soul itself because travelling is a needful condition, it’s a research’s restlessness to overcome the doubts, and at the end of it, our Photographer feels the need to come to terms with his world including himself, inquiring about the brightness and the misunderstandings and being projected in searching ways to escape the reality of time (Carlo Ciappi - Art and Photography Critic)
