A visualization of the story of a person with epilepsy. It identifies the range and journey of emotions of an epileptic, while communicating a personal experience of living with the disorder. Using typeface design as a tool, the project creates metaphorical visual systems that explore and express the layers of emotions that develop over the course of this journey.
