In 'dylsexia,' I aim to capture the silent struggle of children grappling with dyslexia, especially before diagnosis when their difficulties in learning to read may be misunderstood or overlooked. The young girl is depicted with her eyes obscured by a cloth, symbolizing the confusion and frustration that often accompanies undiagnosed dyslexia. Surrounding her are "jumbled words", representing the chaotic landscape of letters and sounds that blur and shift for those with dyslexia. These serve as a visual metaphor for the obstacles that dyslexic individuals encounter in traditional educational settings, where written words dominate as the primary means of communication and learning. By bringing attention to the experiences of those with dyslexia through my artwork, I hope to raise awareness and understanding for individuals who navigate a world where language can be a barrier. It serves as a reminder that every child's journey to literacy is unique and that support and accommodations are essential in unlocking their full potential.
