INvisible Project -
The "INvisible Project" is a national campaign creating chronic pain awareness through photography and story. The ultimate purpose is to educate society about the toll pain has on an individual while also empowering and inspiring those who live with pain. By making visible the experiences and challenges associated with chronic pain, the "INvisible Project" contrasts the fragility of the physical body with the determination and strength of the spirit.
