Autistic children have language and emotional difficulties, and many patients don't get right treatments because of bias and stereotypes. Due to the language barrier, autistic children mainly use body language to communicate with others. So, in my works, I used hands and eyes as the medium for them to express their feelings, and also use these to show their stress and depress caused by bias. I depicts autistic children affected by bias as animals or plants that are kept and protected. I used strong visually impact and contrasting colors to make repeated collages based on autistic traits.
