Alzheimer's is synonymous with memory loss â?? an affliction most of us struggle to wrap our heads around. But the disease impacts those who suffer from it, along with their families and caregivers, in more ways than its common narrative suggests.
Hoping to shed light on the difficulties and complexities of Alzheimer's, the Bob & Diane Fund, an organization devoted to raising awareness, awarded its first-ever grant for visual storytelling. The grant went to Swedish photographer Maja Daniels, whose quiet, intimate images of people with Alzheimer's and their loved ones blend the sterility of medical facilities with the human emotion always present within their walls.
