The Project
A collection of artworks to raise public awareness of an unknown disease such as Acute Hepatic Porphyria. The project invites the viewer to go further, to seek a different reality that normally not everyone can see.

Visualize normal daily life, interrupted by illness. Visualize the ignored pain. A universal story for an apparent absurdity.
Create visual suggestions with an emotional approach. Leave a mark to doctors, but also to ordinary people. Telling the disease, its representation and the struggle in reach the correct diagnosis.
Use of optical illusions to tell the disease. The truths about the disease are hidden to represent the difficulty to obtain a proper diagnose and to live with it.
Small illustrated stories. Information. Empathy. Identification. Emotion.
Graphic representation of an attack of the disease: pain, confusion, to try to make it easier for the doctor to recognize the Acute Hepatic Porphyria.
A project based on the theme of invisibility that invites the observer to go further, to look for a different reality from the one that normally everyone can see.
A journey through the emotions of the patient suffering from Acute Hepatic Porphyria, on the consequences and on the sensation of isolation and solitude of patients.
Nothing like art reaches people's hearts. The expressiveness of the chosen works communicates emotions, without being aggressive or pessimistic. A tribute to one of the most famous sufferers of Acute Hepatic Porphyria, Vincent Van Gogh.
A series of metaphorical illustrations to make visible the wide range of symptoms of this pathology.
In order to be able to deal with a problem, a traumatic event, or a difficult situation, it can be useful to observe the situation from a different point of view.
We always identify with the patient "seeing" the detachment/rip with the reality that surrounds him. To which it no longer belongs, but still seems to be the only one to see what others do not see.
Emphasize the destabilizing nature of the disease, experiencing patients’ attacks as if they were sudden blackouts that interrupt their daily activities.
Transmit the sensation of pain caused by porphyria, through sight and auditory representations.
The story of the process by which a doctor can diagnose Acute Hepatic Porphyria. Through a dense layer of problems and obstacles, can be identified symptoms that can guide the doctor to recognize the disease.
Feeling on another planet is the feeling that everyone feels when discover to suffer from a disease. This makes him feel different, alone and misunderstood.
Acute Hepatic Porphyria is characterized by multiple symptoms, potentially linked to many other diseases. Therefore, diagnosing it becomes a sort of puzzle.
Through a movement, a physical step in the viewer's space, the image will change, and you will be able to name the problem. The step as a metaphor for going further in research.
