One of the hardest things about living with epilepsy is the fact that no one else really knows what it’s like, except you. That can be difficult as you interact with others while dealing with the uncertainty of the condition. Some, however, have found a way to communicate their feelings through artistic expression. And that’s who we’re featuring in this issue—artists living with epilepsy and changing the narrative through their work. Read on to hear about people like Kyle Adamkiewicz, who spreads awareness by leaving painted shells for others to find, and Alex Thomas, whose photography gives him a release and an opportunity to use his creativity. Plus, our feature subjects—with mediums including writing, woodworking, and music—are sharing their talents to shine a light on life with epilepsy. These artists are not only expressing themselves but also encouraging conversations around the condition. We hope you feel the power and strength in their stories.
