Tender Graves
This project is based on Nandita’s experiences with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The loss and rediscovery of personality, memories, and especially grief are things that dementia patients experience over and over again. And sometimes, a person needs to know when they need to let go of the person they remember. Tender Graves looks into the care of people with late-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia. How do you help with the loss of memory and understanding? How do you tell someone their family members are long dead when they remember them being there?
Nandita Venkat Is a game development student at UConn and an aspiring level designer.
