Hello:-D
My name is Daisy and I'm a design student at Emily Carr Institute as well. (if you have already read Joy's thread)
I'm working on a school project to illustrate what having ALS FEELS like in order to engage people more in terms of an awareness of the disease.
I have researched and gotten some basic, technical information on ALS, but I want to get more understanding of it in terms of what its like to actually have it - that is, what ALS is on a sensorial level, physically / emotionally.
For a lot of people, doing art and writing are a way to release their feelings, their stories,
I think through thiscommunication it is easier to make the general public more engaged and connected.
If it is possible, and I am crushed on time, I want to engage people who have ALS to draw
what ALS feels like for them. I understand not everybody are artists but just descriptions
would help alot as well. I'd greatly appreciate it if any kind people wouldn't mind me
asking to share and describe more soulful and honest descriptions.
For example, it could be something like Tuesdays with Morrie where
he describes his body melting like wax.
For you only, what does ALS feel like?
(I don't mean scientifically speaking how it progresses, but emotionally what do you feel?
metaphorical would help alot if possible, but emotional and physical, generally sensorial
descriptions are all welcome from the heart.)
(I have attached some links and examples of some work of artists with ALS)
this is the society our school is partner with this school year

Art by a person with ALS.
