Carnet After the Room

This design honors disability as lived experience, not a limitation. Set in the quiet of an urban dusk, the figure stands grounded and self possessed, moving through the world with intention and adaptation. The cane is present not as an explanation, but as a reality, a tool shaped by survival, autonomy, and self knowledge. This piece is for those who exist outside expected timelines, outside rigid systems, and outside narratives that demand strength or silence. It centers presence over performance, adaptation over apology, and truth over comfort. Designed for those who recognize that resilience does not need permission to exist.
