The artist William Utermohlen drew several self portraits over the years, while he had dementia.
He died in 2007.

Mind may be the only means by which matter can experience beauty and delight. It can also be just as terrifying.

So, the first photo is of him in his youth? Then he drew one a year after his diagnosis, until 2001, when his condition did not allow him to draw?
Did he deliberately make the photos more blurry to represent his failed " loss of identityā€¯, or was it due to a decrease in skills, if you can call it that? Couldn't he draw for the last 7 years of his life?
Interesting, I think, but I need more information, damn it!

It's incredible how much dementia affects the state of our brains. My father had dementia, and I have seen with my own eyes how a person changes over the years, how he becomes. It's a terrifying sight when you realize that this is happening to your loved one. It got to the point where he couldn't go to the bathroom or take a shower by himself, let alone go to the store to get groceries. I had to hire a nurse to take care of him since I often travel on business trips. I contacted this company https://www.assistinghands.com/9/ohio/cincinnati/home-care-blog/ [assistinghands.com]. I was satisfied with the caregiver; she was an excellent professional. Dementia is a terrifying disease because it makes you lose yourself. I wouldn't wish this fate to anyone; take care of your loved ones.
