22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Grandma

This is my grandma Eugenia at the photo. She is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. At the moment I made this photo she was celebrating her 89th birthday, she lived alone with her cat Timofey. Now she is living with her sister and a full-time nurse as her condition deteriorated. She no longer recognises me, her granddaughter, her sister or the place (her own home) she is living in.
