MADS JOHAN ØGAARD

Having dyslexia and dyscalculia has had a huge influence on Mads' life, and it is through art that he expresses his feelings, and thus seeks his own balance. He also seeks to make available, through his works, instruments so that other people with learning differences can communicate their feelings to the world.

DYSLEXIA VS MICROSOFT WORD

The complex relationship between computer programs and people who experience dyslexia is discussed in this visual creation. It is a humorous representation of a situation in which letters, words and sentences appear differently from those considered "normal" by most people. The image of the warrior with spear and shield facing a screen is an allegory of the difficulties faced by those who suffer prejudice, especially in the traditional education system, to be respected just because they see the literate world in a different way, which is not in itself good or bad or better or worse. It's just another way of looking at and perceiving what has been established.

STUCK

The image assertively portrays a dyslexic person trapped by the many gazes directed at them, especially due to the difficulty in learning to read and write within traditional standards. The way people perceive them can create bonds from which escape is nearly impossible. Thus, the psychological "knots" may prevent the "we" of the collective from being realized. A delayed or absent diagnosis often has this devastating effect.
