Description

Knowing Eczema 濕疹識疹

You might know that there are people who have problems on their skin, especially with eczema, which is a group of diseases that cause skin inflammation and irritation. Hence, this project is aiming to change the public’s perception towards eczema and build empathy among the community.

Eczema, which is also known as dermatitis is a common disease in Hong Kong; one out of every five persons suffers from it.

Although eczema is very common, many people still cannot accept the appearance of the skin of eczema patients; having rough skin is unavoidable to those who are suffering from it, they have no choice but to confront it and accept it for the rest of their lives.

No one has a flawless skin, even the people who have unnoticeable imperfections on their skin are vulnerable too. People who have dry skin also deserve to be treated as normal. Eczema is a natural condition, there is no reason to be ashamed of it. In this exhibition the audience can experience eczema through various creative viewpoints and different media in order to have a better understanding of the disease.
