Introduction Reflecting on a disability through the language of art is particularly significant because it is the art that most comprehensively expresses the irrational dimension of the illness narrative. The present artwork represents an illness narrative about invisible disability and its essential attributes. To be specific, it focuses on people who had one of their limbs amputated and replaced with a prosthesis. The artwork appears to be a dark-colored book with some of the pages substituted with aluminum foil, which makes the sheets half the original and half “prosthetic.” The aluminum foil is attached to half of the page and represents that the artificial limb is attached to half of the usual limb, such as a lower leg prosthesis. Various elements of the artwork each portray a particular side of the illness narrative that is inherent to these people. This paper analyses the artwork concept and its elements are given the illness narrative of invisible disability. Experiencing a Disability The dark colors of the cover represent the emotions that a person might experience from the stigmatization of society treating him or her as being different or out of normal. According to Kleinman, the term “stigma” is used “to refer to a person marked by a deformity, blemish, or ugliness.” 1 Stigmatization of a particular disease first occurs in society, and then the individual internalizes that stigma into an inner sense of shame and inferiority. Several artists attempted to express the inner state of self-rejection and struggle against their disease through various means of expression. Alfonzo devoted his painting Grief to his fight against AIDS and the hard feelings associated with coping with death. 2 Its dark, depressing colors and chaotic elements demonstrate the dynamics of a person’s existence in constant fear and struggle. A person with an amputated limb can also suffer from such experiences, especially before surgery and immediately after the installation of the prosthesis. Furthermore, thoughts of social non-acceptance and stigmatization may cause an enormous fear for the future and, subsequently, guilt about disability and deformity. Experiences can concern not only the fear of social reaction but also be related to intrapersonal beliefs. In The Wounded Storyteller , Frank states that a “serious illness is a loss of the destination and map that had previously guided the ill person’s life.” 3 This kind of disease completely changes the picture of the worldview and the person’s place in it. The path that previously seemed to be delineated disappears, and it is perceived as major trauma. It should also be noted that the self-perception of an individual with prosthesis shifts fundamentally. After an amputation, the person feels like a child for some time while learning to do the simplest things once again. A similar attitude was also reflected in The Yellow Wall-Paper by Perkins Gilman, where the main character felt “like she was being treated like an infant.” 4 The difference, however, is that the woman in the story did not consider herself to be infantilized, and the individual after the operation is experiencing infantilization. The person overcomes the amputation of a limb and learns to operate with a new part of a body that necessarily brings huge changes in the life pro
