Third Year

This year, for my project,  I want to explore how important memories are as part of a person's identity. Everyone's memories are unique to each person. If you lose the memories, you lose your sense of identity. Many of my memories growing up involve growing up on the farm and my granny. My granny, who was an important person in my family's lifes, developed Alzeihemers disease in her early 60s and a result ended up with no memories of her husband, children, grandchildren, friend, the farm or her sense of self. Because of this, the concept of memories and identity has an important resonance for my project, as both memories of growing up on the farm and the effect of Alzeihemers disease on my Granny's memories and identity are intertwined.
