I never knew my grandfather, he died from the complications of early onset dementia before I was born. The fear of inheriting this condition stalks me.
Prodigal Whopperhead is a personal time capsule, capturing 365 days of my life during a transitional period. It is an attempt to memorialise everything I hold dear: I've taken photographs of my family, close friends and people I love hoping that, were I ever to lose these memories, the pictures may be able to bring them back.
