Diverse Abilities Identity

This portrait celebrates a variety of concepts and themes surrounding individuals with diverse abilities. Symbols flow between the background and foreground that relate to the unique traits and experiences of those in the neurodivergent community. 

The autism 'infinity' symbols eloquently overlay the face, wrapping the mind, ears, and eyes. The placement and significance of the 'infinity' highlight the spectrum of characteristics, emotions, and perspectives defining autism as an experience rather than a limitation. 

Vibrant and colorful sound waves travel through the middle of the picture plane, suggesting the unique perceptions of this individual. The sound waves are illustrated as vibrant when overlapping with the individual to underscore a unique and dynamic dialogue. Stylized sunflower symbols are included throughout the composition to represent the global symbol for non-visible disabilities. The sunflowers embody resilience, positivity, and strength, which visually echo the strength found through the varying narratives of those with diverse abilities.
