Following sight loss its common to suffer from Charles Bonnet Syndrome and experience a variety of visual hallucinations, ranging from abstract to realistic, and pleasant to terrifying. Often due to lack of awareness the syndrome can be mistaken for mental health issues. I have been using virtual & mixed reality to raise awareness and allow audiences to witness the visual hallucinations firsthand. The visualisations are based on recorded hallucinations, and were created after an intense period of research, collaboration and discussion with CBS sufferers.
