I’ve known people with dementia to be very fluid and even willing to make art almost like a child. She dies within 6 months after that. It was such a pleasure to meet her. Maybe those more prone to their ego are tormented in the moments they need to know who they are and others who never really knew or didn’t have a strong idea of their self slip more pleasantly into the moment like the lady I met.
