In 2020, my father had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at age 54. Barely 2% of the 1,8 million people with a form of dementia in Germany are under the age of 65. For each person with a form of dementia, the illness has different manifestations. The tendency of many dementia patients to fumble on objects is a common symptom of the disease. In their struggle, touch and texture become sources of comfort and security amidst uncertainty.
