Silent Strength: Uncovering MS
Silent Strength is a sequence of self-portraits focusing on Murray’s invisible disability MS. Multiple Sclerosis is a lifelong autoimmune condition, one of many, autoimmune conditions which mean that if anything goes wrong with the immune system it mistakenly attacks a healthy part of the body, and with MS, it attacks the brain and spinal cord (the nervous system). 1 in 10 people have this condition and is more common in women compared to men. Through this project she wanted to create more awareness for invisible disabilities. Murray feels people who have invisible disabilities are disadvantaged and discriminated against more than people with visible disabilities. She has created film processed images using a 5x4 camera, which gives extremely high definition that reflects her invisible disability and the portrayal that not all disabilities are visible.
