One of the most poignant arcs in is Alexa’s relationship with her mother. Her mother, suffering from dementia, does not recognize her. "My son was taller," the mother says, looking through Alexa. "He had your eyes, though. You have his eyes." Alexa must choose: correct her mother and shatter her fragile peace, or sit silently as her own history is erased. Thaumx captures this loss with devastating accuracy.
