My Mum lives in Tui Haven, the secure dementia ward at Cedar Manor Rest Home. She is in her final chapter of life. In some ways the wonderful story has already ended and we are now in the tragic Epilogue. Mum shares a room with a lovely friend who has a collection of owls. This arrangement of owls and a nearly dead plant seemed beautiful, tragic and a little bit funny. Owls are a symbol of wisdom and perception, things that reside deep within us, even after our minds have failed . I found them arranged like this, nestled in a recessed shelf that acted like a Retable (a frame or shelf behind a church alter that holds revered objects)
