dc.description.abstractTourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics, which can significantly affect the daily lives of those diagnosed. This work explores the historical and contemporary perceptions of Tourette Syndrome, highlighting the misconceptions within the medical community and culture broadly. Beginning with an examination of the first documented descriptions of the syndrome, the research delves into the stigmatization of individuals with Tourette’s, linking past misunderstandings to modern portrayals in media. I employ a Diana F+ camera to express the emotional and physical complexities of living with Tourette Syndrome. Through analog photography, I embrace the imperfections of both the medium and the condition itself. This artistic endeavor seeks to promote dialogue and understanding of Tourette Syndrome, advocating for greater awareness and support for individuals affected by it.
