Artist Erich Ferguson deliberately minimized the
artwork and design in this piece and included
negative spacing to create a feeling of loneliness,
which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and
other forms of dementia. The design was kept
centred, streaming from the pineal gland (3rd eye),
where black and white photographs symbolize lost or
diminished memories. The images have signifi cance:
The CN Tower is the exhibit location; the bank tower
pays homage to sponsor Scotiabank and its support
for music and art programs; and the pine tree is an
iconic image by a Group of Seven artist.
