WHITE TAPE
December 2023
---------------------------
These images were used as references for Luciana Allende’s White Tape Project. The project revolved around the themes of hidden disability, vulnerability, and identity. The goal of the project is to share how hidden/concealed disabilities are everywhere, all the time, and they look different in everyone. Allende lives with a condition known as Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex; a situationally debilitating skin condition medically characterized as “the fragility of the skin that results in non-scarring blisters on the feet caused by little to no trauma.” Allende and Hinz-Pinet worked together to visually communicate the vulnerability of Allende’s experience and portray her pain in a beautiful and honest way.
