| Annotation | This article is an autoethnography written by a daughter whose mother developed Alzheimer's disease. In the writing, a shifting nature of relationships is described between the daughter, her mother and the dementia. As a form of self-narrative where the author is placed within a social context, the writing follows Ellis's descriptions of autoethnography (1999) which suggest seeing through a wide-angled lens. This lens has been focused outwards and inwards with the aim of creating an evocative text about shifting relationships and dementia. In its construction, meaning has been extracted from these experiences that help the author to stay aware of these relationships that can shift even further as her mother's dementia moves on in time.
