Bright

Hypersensitivity to light can cause bad effects for those who have it.

This is illustrated through artwork that shows an illusion-like effect that the figure observes when looking out the window. It represents the intense inner battle going on to observe life during daylight hours. With clustering white noise creating a harmful sensitivity to the figure. The figure is looking out of the window, struggling to capture what is going on due to their hypersensitivity to light. The interior of the house is shown to be dark, highlighting the impact the reaction to light can have.

I just can’t concentrate when it’s too bright, I want to just get out of there’. Zoe, Autistic adult who is visually impaired.
