Breakthrough

Auspicious adj. Marked by success; prosperous. Suggesting a positive and successful future. “An auspicious time to purchase the stock.”


A fitting word for a fitting time.


I feel I have finally broken into something successful. I was looking at the case of the man who mistook his wife for a hat, an individual who see patterns and shapes instead of the objects and what they are, when he is handed a flower he describes its visual, geometric qualities but fails to reach the conclusion that it is a flower.

In this image i was focusing on what it is to be a patent of medical condition, you are isolated, judged for your characteristics and impairment, you are not seen as an equal and in this same sense the medication often prescribed acts as a barrier between the patent and him/herself, further complicating their functioning as a valued and equal member of society.

This image was a displaying part of the patients symptoms of only recognising shapes and pattern. The font used again is considered (as before). I was carrying out some reattach when I discovered a section about the font 'Albertus' one which was used in the 60's tv show 'The Prisoner' which is a favourite of mine. I decided the font would be a very good choice to be within my images, not only acting as a binding of sorts but also because in carried the mysterious elements seen in the prisoner, the illusion of identity, the experiments to change characteristics, I felt the show had strong connection with what was seen in the case studies in Sacks' book.
