“People with facial and physical disabilities are often seen as a more visible group in society because of their different physical appearance. Especially for yonge kids, people with facial and physical disabilities often attract attention and may behave in ways that unconsciously harm the dignity of people with facial disabilities. This project selected six types of facial and physical disabilities that would attract attention: facial tumors, hirsutism, leukoplakia, albinism, ichthyosis, and dwarfism. And visualize the people with these six conditions as illustrated images of elves or gods (not from earth) that are acceptable to children or adults. And conceived a mythological story source for each of these six types of diseases. In response to one quote "The Angel fall to the earth". The first purpose is to make people more familiar with these diseases, so that they will not feel strange and act disrespectfully in the future. Secondly, in order to let people, especially children, familiar with these diseases in advance, can give a little more respect to people with facial disabilities.”
