Doreen and the Christmas Dragon
Doreen and the Christmas Dragon
This piece captures a poignant moment of joy amidst the complexities of dementia. The dragon symbolizes the relentless force ravaging my mother's mind, yet it is depicted with a gentle, whimsical touch—representing the resilience of her spirit. The soft marshmallow pink background reflects the safety of her surroundings, mirroring her mind’s cloud-like drift through memories, connecting in unexpected ways. Doreen's festive hat and glasses, adorned with Christmas trees and sparkles, embody her playful and cheerful nature, despite her disconnection from time. Painted in bright, joyful watercolours, this piece celebrates her life, capturing the lightness of her disposition even as she and those of us that love her face the challenges of dementia.
