Visualising the Symptoms and Struggles of Autoimmune Diseases

This collection of artworks creatively illustrates the autoimmune disorders diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, and chronic sleep disorder by highlighting the organs, body parts and molecules affected. Despite the difference between these conditions all of these diseases have one thing in common: they can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Chronic pain, fatigue, and difficulty breathing are just a few examples of the many symptoms that people with autoimmune diseases can experience. To alleviate or control these patients require inhalers, finger-prick tests or medication, which can have a significant negative impact on people's lives.
