This is a story of my 67 year old mother, Vasanti Makan who is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s disease. ‘Evanescence’ captures our story: of my mother’s gradual fading from my sight and existence, while I am steadily dissolved from her memory. As for the viewer, this series will ‘soon pass out of their sight, memory and existence’. This series is a culmination of a voyage I embarked on three and a half years ago. (Amita Makan)
