Weight – Print

A raw and powerful exploration of the emotional burden that hearing loss can impose. Created from personal experience, this piece reflects the heaviness, the pain, and the isolation that can accompany an invisible disability. While much of the world may not see the struggle, Weight makes the emotional weight of hearing loss visible, showing its true impact on one’s mental and physical well-being. The piece was created with pastels and colored pencils on wood, a medium that allows the softness of the materials to contrast with the intense emotion conveyed, offering a deeply personal perspective on the vulnerability and resilience of living with hearing loss. It is a reminder that while the journey through this challenge can feel overwhelming, facing the hard truths is an essential part of healing and finding strength.
