Ever felt lost in an alienated place all by yourself?

 

Such confusion and distress faced is the hard truth often faced by persons with dementia as their condition deteriorates. As their memory slowly gets eaten away, they often cannot recall the most familiar sights and sounds, and even their loved ones. 

​

This installation brings you to a different dimension, starting with an unfamiliar surrounding, navigate through the VR Maze and find your way home in this recreation of an alien world. Experience feelings of confusion and loss as you venture through the maze - Finding Home.

​

If you feel trapped, fret not for there will be volunteers there to guide you to the nearest Help Point, where you will be given clues to get to your destination. 

 

This is inspired by real Go-to Points(GTPs) located island-wide, where members of the public can bring persons with dementia who may appear lost and are unable to identify themselves or their way home. GTP partners are familiar with the means to identify the person who has been brought to them and will assist to reunite them with their caregivers.

​

So next time you see a lost person with dementia, you know what to do! Keep calm and bring them to the nearest Go-To Points! To know more about Go-To Points, click here.
