Dolores is the name of the protagonist of this story. A woman who one day stopped knowing what date she was living on, who forgot to feed her dog until it starved to death or who no longer remembers how to cook without burning the pots. Images of the harsh consequences that this disease causes in the lives of those who suffer from it.

This project by Paula Sanchoyerto investigates how the disease affected her aunt until she remained isolated from reality. An investigation into the passage of time, loneliness and mental illness that alternates images of the elements found in the house she lived in with archive images to finally be constructed as an “artist's book”.
