Chaos
Memories of people with Alzheimer's disease are like fragments that are unable to be patched. They can remember the past clearly, but the recent things are blurred in their brain.

Hallucination
People with Alzheimer's disease often mistake their hallucinations for reality, and their memories are fragmented. Inspired by the phenomenon, I drew the scene of him sleeping with his body floating in the air outside the house where he couldn't tell dream from reality.
