About the Project

This piece features ‘fact files’ of 11 people; 5 men, 5 women, and 1 non-binary individual. There are people of different ethnicities, sexualities and with different mental and physical differences. It is designed to represent the great diversity of our modern society. The individuals shown on the cards are all of a similar age, of late teens and early 20s. The red line through 10 of the 11 people is designed to show the loss of these individuals in a world where eugenics is a fundamental part of reproduction and there are genes which are attributable to those characteristics.
