Treat Yourself

What does it mean to have a disease?

Are there alternative ways to be diagnosed?

Why are we treated by this way by the NHS?

Through this project, I am using my role as a designer to infiltrate part of the health institution in order to express alternative approaches to treatment.  I was able to have an MRI scan so I could understand the experince that patients go through.  In anticipation, I created a brain lesion costume to wear for the scan, in order to distract the machine.
