My response to ‘In Real Life’ takes the form of a conversation around disability especially from my own perspective and experience of being hearing impaired. I have investigated the idea of the ‘disability’ sign and how it does not articulate the idea of hidden and non-visible disabilities.  

I have tried to communicate my thoughts and feelings through visual representation using my own self portrait and text as a way to reach out to people with similar issues, but also to those people who are less aware.
