A one week self-initiated project about scoliosis. For those who do not know what scoliosis is: it is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
A series of photographs taken to make people understand how it feels like to have scoliosis - a condition I was diagnosed with 5 years ago. In order to illustrate the discomfort I experience, I had individuals imitate a crooked standing position consistent with the shape of my spine, and then try to hold that particular pose for an extended period of time. This illustrates the amount of discomfort scoliosis inflicted individuals have to put up with everyday, due to their internal spines being crooked.
The display is purposely done in an angle and descending in order to make the audience experience the discomfort.
During the experiment and testing stage, videos are taken in order to capture the individuals facial expressions and movement. (which I will be putting up soon when I finish editing them)
