Carmens is a design project inspired by the need to connect and “hold on to memories”.
Hello, my name is Debby Rivera and my mother – Carmen – lived with the delibitating condition of dementia. The experience taught me many valuable lessons that have inspired me to create a series of designs. These designs are an expression of what “holding on to memories” means to me when I think of my mother and the condition that led to our 12 years of progression through life, living with dementia – alzheimers.
Soon we will offer these visual expressions on apparel and products with the purpose to donate a portion of profits to supporting families affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The Hummingbird
The first theme in our series of visual expressions is the Hummingbird – Represents joy and remembrance, often believed to be messengers from lost loved ones in some cultures.
Carmens Hummingbirds
Sample Tote bags: on one side a design of hummingbird over word and on opposite side an inspirational quote expressing a sentiment of support.
Additional designs and/or products will be added every month.
