SCROLL

TITLE

The visually impaired are often perceived with pity, and many believe they are less capable than they truly are, leading to assumptions that they require constant assistance. These misconceptions foster a mental and social distance, often paired with the image of social isolation under the visually impaired.

I believe this group is often neglected and people do not see the need or possibilities to include them more in society, which increases this mental and social distance.

As someone born with a blind eye, I am afraid of losing my vision completely and the possible consequences that would come with it. With this project, I want to take a part of my own fear away by challenging and reducing the stereotypes, promoting more understanding of the capabilities of the visually impaired, and fostering more social inclusivity.
