Undone, a short film

This is a lovely, poignant little 6-minute film. The creator, Hayley Morris, describes it this way:
A drifting man struggles to pull objects from the roiling sea below him and scrambles to keep the objects from slipping through his fingers. A stop-motion animation using textured and tactile materials, as well as personal imagery, that represents the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by my grandfather.

I've linked the above image to the video on Haley Morris's website. Maria Popova blogged about the film, but I've had trouble playing it on her Brain Pickings page:
Beautiful Stop-Motion Animated Film About the Progression of Alzheimer’s
