Stemming from Taxali’s idea of our everlasting connection with those we love, “My Heart Knows You” is an homage to this touching sentiment. A person suffering with from Alzheimer’s disease, or any related form of dementia, may not remember those they know and love. However, their heart surely has recognition. Various fictional characters and words were chosen to convey possible stories and moments in a person’s life. The aim of the piece is to evoke the notion of a ‘mental diary’; a personalized love letter to a partner, family member or friend. The concept appeals to all involved – both to the person afflicted with dementia and to those they know and love. Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease, taking loved ones away from family and friends. Despite this, the bond of love is unfathomable…because ‘our hearts always know’.
