This piece is my take on the MedicAlert logo to symbolize my personal connection to disability. I have been disabled throughout my life and what I have noticed is that disabilities are generally seen as sad or depressing because they are so restricting to your life, so I created a piece to symbolize the beauty of those with disabilities. Even with restrictions, we can still live and express ourselves in unique ways and enjoy the beauty of life from different perspectives.
