Gut Feelings Exhibit

Many people live with discomfort day to day whether they deal with autoimmune diseases or not. It is common for these discomforts to go unaddressed and to instead be accepted without seeking relief. This could be due to the overwhelming amount of information out there or a false idea of cause and effect. This exhibition and booklet design are intended to bring awareness to the ways in which the body is connected as a system, specifically as it revolves around the gut microbiome. With education in mind, this project aims to open viewers eyes to the complexities of the body in a simplified and easily digestible —pun intended—  format. This outlook could allow the viewer to think differently about the cause and effects of their day to day life including diet, stressors and medication. It is not the intention to preach solutions to anyone but rather to bring awareness to the connectivity of the body and how that may be working against or for you to better inform future ideas on how someone can regulate their mood, energy, gut health, inflammation, etc. in day to day life.
