Nowadays, “normal” is often defined by neurotypical, while neurodivergent—such as people with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia—are frequently misunderstood or excluded. However, difference is not a flaw to be corrected, but a form of diversity that enriches our world.

The installation presents characteristic traits of neurodivergent individuals, inviting visitors to interact and reflect on whether they share similar experiences. This participatory process challenges the notion that such traits necessarily define neurodivergence. By contrasting how neurotypical and neurodivergent people perceive the same stimuli, the work fosters deeper understanding toward neurodiverse experiences.
