A true sensory experience, this book invites us to discover the diversity and variability of rare diseases. Using a mixture of different visual art techniques, Lucie Albon’s artwork conveys the full complexity of rare diseases. As each rare disease has a unique impact on each patient, the images created by the artist speak to the viewer in their own unique way.
Yet, in the same way that the 26 letters making up the alphabet form the basis of each word, the rare diseases form a community so that no one should ever feel alone.
