Thesis: (in)visibility

As a person living with chronic invisible illness and disability, I decided to create a thesis focusing on raising awareness regarding invisible illness & disability in order to reform the definition and image of the disabled body. 

My work aims to educate people about some of the symptoms and conditions of invisible illness & disability

IN(VISIBILITY): A book

An entirely handmade and hand-bound interactive experience. The book features Hardcover-concealed spiral binding, holding 9 pages of analog animation. The covers and pages of this book were hand cut, glued, and pressed. The book describes and visualizes symptoms of invisible illness and disabilities.
