The Unseen Joint Jolts, 2024

For my piece, The Unseen Joint Jolts, I wanted to highlight how with rheumatoid arthritis it makes it hard to do the most basic tasks. Like brushing your hair as shown in my piece. When I think of Unseen, I think of black lights that highlight stuff we don’t notice. Like stains or brighter colors. I did this by making a neon effect, making the hand lower in opacity while making the neon spikes brighter to resemble joints flaring up.
