Artist Statement
Orit Fuchs lives and works in Tel Aviv. She is a storyteller with a deep,
pure and unquenchable appetite for artistic self-expression. Her medium
spans the gamut — sculptures, painting, typography, illustration, knitting,
photography and more — whatever works best to bring her vision to life.
The artist's parents had Alzheimer's disease, and she saw how her mother
slowly withered and how her memory was slowly erased. Orit chose to use
the icon of Pac-Man walking through the maze and slowly eating all the cells
in the brain. It illustrates how dementia takes control of the mind.
