The medium is vinyl and each section was installed on the same day.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge was the scale of the image. This artwork was the first large scale illustration by this artwork. Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building. The largest challenge was to ensure the artwork didn't look like an event or performance that was happening at Cork Opera House so as not to confuse their patrons.
Research: The primary research tools was a personal accounts of life with a chronic medical condition as experienced by the artist.
Inspiration: This illustration was created with the idea of how reality and imagination merge and muddle in our lives after a medical intervention or event.

Operation Flow: This artwork was created with accessibility in mind. The artwork is installed in a window space because window spaces are accessible to view from outside the building.
