In 2023 I saw a woman having an autistic meltdown in a supermarket. Her pain was real—yet all she received were stares of fear and disgust.  

That night, I dreamed of a massive fresco: a collective meltdown, hundreds in sensory crisis. It stayed with me.

I had been reading about changelings—children once believed to be swapped by spirits, often because they behaved differently. 

Many accused witches may have simply been neurodivergent.  This project was born at the intersection of that history, lived experience, and dream.

I'm really happy you appreciate! Thank you so much Ismene!!

I love your work, and the sentence I quoted above enlightened my day. Never thought about that before, but it seems so obvious now that I read it. So, yes, thank you :)

Thank you very much for these words of yours, also because I know that it is still a sensitive issue and many people prefer to avoid knowing about it and exposing themselves, but it is important for the self-determination of many people who experience this condition. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself, and that's okay, but reading these words really heartens me! 💙
