| Summary: | The term “autoimmunity” is still unknown to many despite the number of
fatalities and its increasing rate of diagnosis. Even with the existence of several
chronic illness awareness programs in Singapore’s hospitals, the information and
statistics regarding autoimmune conditions lacks prominence and its collective impact
remains hidden.
As part of an effort to raise awareness in illnesses that are unseen, this project
attempts to illustrate the shared sense of displacement and uncertainty that persons
with autoimmune has experienced. It aims to provide an overview on the hidden
extent of the illness, its ambiguity and the incongruence in its awareness and support. |
